what equation should i use for this question? ^^

The question is this:

mass of toy car = 0.040 kg
vertical height between position A and position B = 90 cm
gravitational field strength = 9.8 N/kg
Calculate the maximum possible speed of the toy car when it reaches position B.

I'm not sure which equation I should be using here. Any help appreciated :smile:
using the info given, think about how you can relate these values... GPE = mgh can be used to work out a value for energy and then what other equation can you think of that relates energy to speed?

Probably energy conversion mgh= 1/2mv^2
thanks to both of you 😊
