The answer is 30.6 good luck!

Aliza Stout · Answer 2

The distance between the roof and the ground where the balloon water was dropped is 30.65 meters. This is computed using the free fall formula which state that the height or distance is equal to the time it takes object to hit the ground times the constant gravity. In this case, 2.5 seconds times 9.807 meter per square second will then give us the 30.65 meter.
