Answer: The answer is c
Explanation: Use the equations of falling body and consider g=9.8ms inverse two.
The distance an object falls in ‘ t ‘ seconds is …
D = (1/2) (gravity) (t²)
In this question,
20.3m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (t²)
t² = (20.3m) / (4.9 m/s²)
t² = 4.143 sec²
t = √(4.143 sec²)
t = 2.04 second (choice-C)
