To find the height from which the stone fell, we can use the equation of motion:
s = ut + (1/2)at^2
Where:
s = distance traveled by the stone (2.2m)
u = initial velocity of the stone (0 m/s, as the stone is falling)
a = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s^2)
t = time taken for the stone to travel past the window (0.28s)
Plugging in the values, we get:
2.2 = 0 + (1/2)(-9.8)(0.28)^2
2.2 = -1.3728
2.2 = -1.3728
Therefore, the stone fell from a height of 2.2m above the top of the window.
