Answer

2.51 m

Work Step by Step

Let's take, The velocity of the tile at the top of the window $=V$ Gravitational acceleration = g Distance to the top of the window from the rooftop $=S$ Length of the window $=L$ Let's apply $V^{2}=u^{2}+2aS$ to the tile until it comes to the top of the window. $\downarrow V^{2}=u^{2}+2aS$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $V^{2}=0+2gS=>S=\frac{V^{2}}{2g}-(1)$ Let's apply $S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ to the motion of the tile from top ->bottom of the window $\downarrow S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $1.6\space m =V(0.2\space s)+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\space m/s^{2}(0.2\space s)^{2}$ $V=\frac{3.2\space m-0.392\space m}{0.4s}=7.02\space m/s-(2)$ (2)=>(1) $S=\frac{(7.02\space m/s)^{2}}{2\times9.8\space m/s^{2}}=2.51\space m$
