A stone is thrown straight downward with a speed of 20 m/s from the top of a tall building. If the stone strikes the ground 3.0 seconds later, about how tall is the building?
A) 45m
B) 60m (wrong)
C) 90m
D) 105 m

Do you remember this formula for the distance traveled while accelerated ?Distance = (initial speed) x (t)  plus  (1/2) x (acceleration) x (t²)I think this is exactly what we need for this problem.initial speed = 20 m/s downacceleration = 9.81 m/s² downt = 3.0 secondsDistance down = (20) x (3)  plus  (1/2) x (9.81) x (3)²Distance = (60)  plus  (4.905) x (9)Distance = (60)  plus  (44.145)  =  104.145 metersChoice  D)  is the closest one.
