Answer: 2.55meter

Explanation: Using the second equation of motion.

S{hieght} = U*t + {g*t²}/2

Where U is initial velocity =0m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity 10m/s²

t is time 1secs

So we have,

hieght = 0 + {g*t²}/2

hieght = {10*(1)²}/2

Total hieght travelled is 10/2

Which is 5 meter.

But we are asked to find the hieght above the window which as a hieght of 2.45meter.

So,

hieght above window would be

{5 - 2.45}meter

Which is 2.55 meter.
