    k , its like this...
    u = initial velocity
    v = final velocity
    a = aceleration
    S = Distance

    v(squared) = u(squared) + 2AS


    u = 20
    v = 0
    a = -9.8
    t dosent matter
    S is what your looking for.

    0*0 = 20*20 + 2(-9. sunglasses.gif(S)
    -400 = -19.6(S)

    S= 20.0408 meters


    I think ( but its been a while since i'v done one of those)
