A ball is thrown downward from the top of a building that is 38.8 m tall. The ball passes the top of a window 13.0 m above the ground 2.00 s after being thrown. What is the speed of the ball as it passes the top of the window?

Find the distance between the top of the building and the top of the window.Then using kinamatic equation find the velocity.
