ANYTHING that’s dropped near the Earth’s surface and isn’t affected by air resistance falls 9.8 m/s faster at any time than it did 1 second earlier.
0.5 second after it was dropped with zero speed, it’s falling at
(0.5) x (9.8 m/s) = 4.9 m/s .
It makes no difference which building it was dropped from.
