A. 7.0 meters/second
B. 11 meters/second
C. 22 meters/second
D. 49 meters/second
E. 70 meters/second

Using kinematics, the variables we know are:

Acceleration (due to gravity) = 9.81m/s^2 [down]
distance = 25m
Vi = 0m/s

Since we don't know time we can use the equation:

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad

Vf^2 = 0^2 + (2)(-9.81)(-25)

Vf^2 = 490.5m/s

Vf = 22m/s
