Finding the distance a plant falls

[mathforkicks]

A freefall problem

A flowerpot falls off a windowsill and falls past the window below. You may ignore air resistance. It takes the pot .420 s to pass this window, which is 1.90 m high. How far is the top of the window below the windowsill from which the flowerpot fell?
