The general formula is


    h = %28gt%5E2%29%2F2,


where h is the height of the free fall in meters, t is the time in seconds, g is the gravity acceleration g = 9.81 m/s^2.


For example, for t = 2 seconds (one of the examples from list)


    h = %289.81%2A2%5E2%29%2F2 = 19.62 m.


For other cases, use the formula and make calculations  ON  YOUR  OWN  by the same way,  as instructed.
