The kinematic equation of motion gives the following (y-axis directed upward, origin is at ground):
where is the inital coordinate (cliff height), is the inital speed, is the gravitational acceleration, and is the coordinate at time .
At the bottom of the cliff , this, substituting it, obtain:
Solving the quadratic equation and taking the positive solution, obtain:
Answer. 7.7 s.
