Answer:

Distance, S = 12.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Acceleration = 10

Time = 1.6

Initial velocity = 0

To solve for acceleration, we would use the second equation of motion;


S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^(2)

Substituting the values into the equation;


S = 0(1.6) + \frac {1}{2}*10*(1.6)^(2)


S = 5 *2.56

Distance, S = 12.8m

Therefore, the height of the building is 12.8 meters.
