This question can be solved using the equations of motion.
The object fell "122.6 m".
The distance fell by the object can be found by using the second equation of motion:
[tex]h = v_it+\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]
where,
h = distance fell = ?
vi = initial speed = 0 m/s
t = time interval = 5 s
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Therefore,
[tex]h = (0\ m/s)(5\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)(5\ s)^2[/tex]
h = 122.6 m
