A watermelon is dropped from the edge of the roof of a build- ing and falls to the ground. You are standing on the pavement and see the watermelon falling when it is 30.0 m above the ground. Then 1.50 s after you first spot it, the watermelon lands at your feet. What is the height of the building? Neglect air resistance.
