Answer:

t=\sqrt{h/g}

Explanation:

We use the kinematics equation to solve this question:

y(t)=y_{o}+v_{o}t+1/2*a*t^{2}

v_{o}=0    because the ball is dropped

a=-g         the acceleration is the gravity, negative because it points downwards

y_{o}=h     initial height

y(t)=h/2     final height

So:

h/2=h-1/2*g*t^{2}

t=\sqrt{h/g}
