    s = 23.72 m

    v = 21.56 m/s²

    Explanation:

    given

    time to reach the ground (t) = 2.2 second

    we know that

    a) s = u t + 0.5 g t²

    u = 0 m/s

    g = 9.8 m/s²

    s = 0 + 0.5 * 9.8 * 2.2²

    s = 23.72 m

    b) impact velocity

    v = √ (2gh)

    v = √ (2 * 9.8 * 23.72)

    v = √464.912

    v = 21.56 m/s²
