<h2>The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Time, t = 3 s

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²

s = 44.145 m

The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m
