--------------
128 feet is unusual for 2 stories.
Using 32 ft/sec/sec for gravity:
-----
a) how long will it take to fall half the distance to the ground?
---
s = at^2/2 = 64 ft
16t^2 = 64
t = 2 seconds
==================================================
b) how long will it take to fall to the ground?
s = at^2/2 = 128 ft
16t^2 = 128
t^2 = 8 seconds
