28. The velocity of a falling object can be found using the formula v2 = 64h, where v is the
velocity (in feet per second) and h is the distance the object has already fallen.
a. What is the velocity of the object after a 10-foot fall?

b. How much does the velocity increase if the object falls 20 feet rather than 10 feet?
