Answer:
122.5m
Explanation:
Basic kinematics, negating drag and assuming ideal conditions, we use the equation:
d=vi*t+1/2*a*t^2
Since vi is 0 (we know this because you’re dropping it, not throwing it)…
…and the only acceleration acting on it is gravity, a=9.8 m/s^2…
…we get
d=1/2(9.8)(5)^2
Some quick mental math tells us that this is about 125 m.
Plugging it in, we find it to be 122.5 m.
