A roadrunner is cruising at 14 m/s without knowing the road under its feet is about to run out, at the edge of a cliff, some 45 m above a flat valley below. Fortunately a roadrunner CAN fly so it just flew away. If indeed the roadrunner couldn't fly and would not be affected by air drag, what was the magnitude of the final speed when it hit the valley?
