Initial velocity, u = 0 (dropped gently); Acceleration, a = 10 m/s2

Height, s = 20 m; Final velocity, v =? And Time taken, t =?
 
Use third equation of motion:

begin mathsize 12px style straight v squared equals straight u squared plus 2 as
rightwards arrow straight v squared equals 0 plus 2 cross times 10 cross times 20
rightwards arrow straight v squared equals 400
rightwards arrow straight v equals 20 space straight m divided by straight s
Using space the space second space equation space of space motion comma space we space get
straight s equals ut plus 1 half at squared
rightwards arrow 20 equals 0 cross times straight t plus 1 half cross times 10 cross times straight t squared
rightwards arrow straight t squared equals 4
rightwards arrow straight t equals 2 space straight s end style
