Need a graph or a picture
The molecules of ice stick together in the process of cohesion. They are tightly packed so there isn't much room to move. Liquid water is a looser hold. The molecules can go past one another, and they will take the shape of whatever container they occupy. Water vapor is loosely contained, and it will will fill whatever container it is kept in, and it will take its shape, too.
The distance you free-fall from rest is D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this
Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²
Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)
Height = (4.9/5.76) meters
Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)
Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change. It's constant. Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.
