PROBLEM
Given the intended velocity c to be achieved and the gravity g, find the minimum height H such that in descent from height H, speed c is achieved, where he jumped at zero velocity and depth H and v are related as v^2 = 2 \cdot g \cdot H
QUICK EXPLANATION
\displaystyle H = \frac{c^2}{2 \cdot g} is the required minimum height.
EXPLANATION
We want to achieve velocity c during the descent, and we know that g is nothing, but acceleration, a change in the rate of velocity. We can see that the velocity at the end of the jump shall be higher than any point during the jump.
Also, starting descent at zero velocity, velocity after descending H meters is v where v^2 = 2 \cdot g \cdot H
So, we want to find minimum H such that c^2 \leq 2 \cdot g \cdot H, which happens when \displaystyle H = \frac{c^2}{2 \cdot g}.
Since problem constraints mention that 2 \cdot g divides c^2, the final answer shall always be an integer.
Bonus
Let’s assume you jump at velocity x m/s. Check if you can achieve velocity c by jumping, and if possible, find the minimum height. x, c and g are given in input.
TIME COMPLEXITY
The time complexity is O(1) per test case.
