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

    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
