We need to know what the other known variables are in order to answer.

If we're talking physics (like I think you are) then;
x = xo + vt
where: x is the height
xo is the height when t = 0
v is the velocity
and t is the time

or:
x = xo + vot +(1/2)at^2
where: x is the height
xo is the height when t = 0
vo is the velocity when t = 0
a is the acceleration (in this case, gravity)
and t is the time

But, like I said before, it depends on what the given variables are to know which specific equation you should you.

The falling object model =
-16x^2+vx+h
where v=the starting velocity
where h=starting height!

it depends on what information you are given. use the kinematic equations depending onw hat you have and what you don't

you have a of gravity
and you have initial velocity if it is dropped from rest.
do you have final velocity or time? you have to have one of those

depending on either pick an equation

change in D = vi +.5(a)(t^2)
or vf^2 = vi^2 + 2(a)(change in d)

Length times width equals height.

h = 1/2 g t^2

or

h = 1/2 V^2/g

where t and V are time and speed when the body hits the ground,
assuming initial time, velocity, position are all zero

The height of what?
Just measure it with a ruler.

What kind of ball. A steel ball will fall faster than a tennis ball. Galileo proved that.
