A stone falls from a building and reaches the ground 2.5 seconds later. How high is the building? $(g=9.8\ m/s^2)$
Here, initial velocity $u=0$
Time $t=2.5\ s$
Gravitational acceleration $g=9.8\ m/s^2$
Let $h$ be the height of the building.
On using the equation of motion, $h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$
$h=0\times2.5\ s+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(2.5\ s)$
Or $h=0+4.9\times6.25$
Or $h=30.625\ m$
Therefore, the building is $30.625\ m$ high.
