To calculate the distance an object will fall in a given time(considering just the effects of gravity) multiply average velocity by the length of tim the object fell at that average velocity. Since velocity is increasing at a constant rate, average velocity can be found by adding initial velocity to final velocity, and dividing by two.
distance = time x (initial velocity + final velocity) / 2
