ANSWER:
ANSWER:
When the objects falls freely under gravity, it obeys the specific equation of motion about it’s speed and distance. Let’s first do it for the distance, which obeys the equation,
STEP 1:-
.
Here in the above equation, the acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity because there is only the force of gravity acts on the object.
