Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying the equation of motion for a body falling under gravity

s = ut+1/2gt²................................. Equation 1

Where, s = hieght of fall, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: s = 20 m, u = 0 m/s, t = ?, g = 10 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

10 = 0(t²)+1/2(10×t)

10 = 5t

Solve for t

5t/5 = 10/5

t = 2 seconds
