    How can I find the height and time of a freely falling object?

    I've been using y = y0 + v0t - 1/2 gt^2 which I'm pretty sure is right, but for the first half of the object's flight i don't know it's position or time so I'm not sure what I can do with it.

    How can I find the height and time of a freely falling object?

    Thanks for your reply. I am still pretty lost with this question though. I've tried using the different equations for constant acceleration and I can't seem to come up with anything that helps at all. Is there a way for me to find the velocity of the first half of the object's flight? If I...

    How can I find the height and time of a freely falling object?

    If someone could please help me with the following question I would greatly appreciate it. An object falls a distance h from rest. If it travels 0.5h in the last 1.00s, find the time and the height of its fall. Ok, so for the second half that the object is falling, the velocity is 0.5h...
