A coin is dropped from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It starts from rest and falls freely. Neglecting air resistance, compute the coin's position and velocity at 1.0 s, 2.0 s and 3.0 s.

the distance fallen at time t seconds is

4.9 t^2 meters

I leave it up to you to discover how high the tower is, and just what you mean by "position."
