it's the same formula you use to calculate how fast something will fall with gravity except you replace the A with the gravitational constant.

that makes any sense or am i just high?

Yes, that's right. BUT it reads 0 + 1200 - 900 = 300meters. Luc, just fucking write down 300 meters. It's fucking right.
