Dear student

S = ut + 0.5at^2
U= 0 a= g

t= ( 2s/g)^0.5

t/ 2 = (s/2*g)^0.5

S(@time = t/2) = 0.5*g*(s/2g)= s/4

Or h/ 4

Let the acceleration be 'g'
Then initial velocity = 0 m/s [in T seconds]
Let the distance be 'h' m.
We know,
Equation of motion:
s = ut + 1/2 gT²
Then,
h = 1/2gT² ......(1)
h1 = 1/2gT²/4'......(2)
Substitute (1) and (2):
We'll get h1 = h4
∴ The distance from ground is h-h/4= 3h/4
