Explanation / Answer

      a)     velocityof a freely falling body is   v = 2gh                        v = 2*9.8*450                              =93.91 m/s        b)    Time of flight is T= Time of accent + Time of decent                                          = 2h/g +2h/g                                          =19.16 s         c)        v = s/t                       = 13.7/4                        = 3.245 m/s if it is moving with constant velocity
