Answer

$s=\dfrac{3}{4}H$

Work Step by Step

Use velocity-time equation. $v=u+at$ This implies $t=\frac{u}{g}$ [ v=0] ...(1) Use position-time equation. $s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$ From equation (1), we have $s=u(\frac{u}{g})+\dfrac{1}{2}g(\frac{u}{g})^2$ $s=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}=H$ ...(2) Also, $s=u \cdot (\dfrac{u}{2g})-\frac{g}{2}(\dfrac{u}{2g})^2$ This implies $s=\dfrac{3}{4}H$
