What is vi for an object dropped from a raised position?

Option C. vi = 0

Explanation:

An object held at a particular height above the ground is considered to be at rest. If the object is release from that height, the initial velocity (vi) is considered to be zero since the object is at rest or at a stand still position.

Thus,

Initial velocity (vi) = 0
