Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Height of wall = 19.2 m

Time taken to hit the ground = 5 seconds

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8m/s ( downward motion)

The initial velocity of the object refers to the Velocity of the object at time t = 0

Initial Velocity = g × time

Initial Velocity = 9.8 × 0 = 0
