Verified Answer :

at highest point, velocity = 0, height (potential energy) is max

at lowest point, velocity(Kinetic energy) is max, height (PE) is reduced


total energy at 2 points is equal --- conservation of energy. in the other words, potential energy transform to kinetic energy when decending.


PE reduce = KE increase

PE@highest - PE@lowest = KE@lowest - KE@highest

mg(180) - mg(60) = 0.5mv^2 - 0

g(180-60) = 0.5v^2

work from here

... remark ... unit of v is cm/s
