A road bicycle racer rides down the highway from Pike's peak. During one stretch of the ride, he descends 150 m while accelerating from 35 km/hr to some final speed. Assuming friction and air resistance to be negligible, and treating kinetic energy as purely translational (i.e., ignoring any rotational part), what is his final speed?
