A ball is dropped from the top of a tall building. In 3.5 seconds the ball hits the ground. [Ignore air resistance] How far: does the ball fall? How fast: is the ball traveling when it hits the ground.

A ball is thrown upward from the ground with an initial speed of 25 m/s; at the same instant, another ball is dropped from a building 15 m high. After how long will the balls be at the same height above the ground?

Free-Fall Acceleration A steel ball is dropped from a building's roof and passes a window, taking 0.125 s to fall from the top to the bottom of the window, a distance of 1.20 $\mathrm{m}$ . It then falls to a sidewalk and bounces back past the window, moving from bottom to top in 0.125 s. Assume that the upward flight is an exact reverse of the fall. The time the ball spends below the bottom of the window is 2.00 s. How tall is the building?
