Problem 1.165

A stone falls down without initial velocity from a height \(h\) onto the Earth's surface. The air drag assumed to be negligible, the stone hits the ground with velocity \(v_{0}=\sqrt{2 g h}\) relative to the Earth. Obtain the same formula in terms of the reference frame "falling" to the Earth with a constant velocity \(v_{0}\).
