    "2. s = v0*t + (1/2)at^2

    s = 2.2 meters and t = 0.28 seconds

    2.2 = v0*(0.28) + (1/2)(9.8)(0.28)^2

    2.2 = v0*(0.28) + 0.38416

    1.81584 = v0*(0.28)

    v0 = 6.485

    So this is the speed of the stone at the top of the window.

    v0 = at and s = (1/2)at^2 with t = SQRT(2s/a)

    v0 = aSQRT(2s/a) = SQRT(2sa)

    v0^2 = 2sa

    s = v0^2/(2a)

    s = (6.485)^2/(2*9.8)

    s = 2.146 meters"
