Your current case as an FBI investigator involves a possible assassination attempt. The crime scene is a tall building, about 150 m high. As a foreign official was walking into the building, a flowerpot fell from above him and nearly landed on his head. One witness says that someone accidentally knocked the flowerpot from a 24th-story window, 94 m above the ground. Another witness was inside the building looking out of an 18th- story window when she saw the flowerpot fall. She claims that the flowerpot took exactly 0.044 s to fall from the top of the window to the bottom of the window, a distance of 1.5 m. (She knows this because she was videotaping her pet dachshund doing tricks and the flowerpot falling past the window was filmed in the background.) The top of the 18th-story window is 75 m above the ground. Could the flowerpot have fallen with zero initial velocity from the 24th-story window?
