Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

with zero initial velocity we can use the kinematic equation.

h = ½at²

t = √(2h/g)

t = √(2(5)/10)

t = √1

t = 1 s

So probably answer A although the precision is too high. The precision of the input numbers are only a single significant digit, whereas A has two.
