b)How much longer it takes to reach the ground?
c)What speed it takes to reach the ground?

a. = V = Vo + g*t
Tr = (V-Vo)/g = (0-15)/-9.8 = 1.53 s. =
Rise time.
Tf = Tr = 1.53 s. = Fall time.
T = Tr + Tf = 1.53 + 1.53 = 3.06 s. =
Time to return to window level.

b. H = Vo*t + 0.5g*t^2 = 20 m.
15*t + 4.9t^2 = 20
4.9t^2 + 15t - 20 = 0
Use Quadratic Formula.
T = 1.0 s. To reach Gnd.

c. V^2 = Vo^2 + 2g*h.
V^2 = 15 + 19.6*20 = 392
V = 19.8 m/s.

Correction:
c. V^2 = (15)^2 + 19.6*20 = 617
V = 24.8 m/s.
