How long does it take to reach the ground? Take g=2ms-2.
h=½gt2
5=½*2t
2
t=1½=1s
b) With what velocity does it strike the ground?
v= (2gh)½= (2*2*5)½=2m/s.

- A car travelling at 20m/s decelerates uniformly at 4m/s5. In what time will it come to rest?
v=u-at, (a is negative since the body is decelerating).(Solved)
