Detailed Solution

According to question, time taken by the ball to cross the window,                   t = 0.1s, h = 1.5mIf u be the velocity at the top most point of the window, then from equation of motion,                   h=ut+12gt2     ⇒  1.5=u×0.1+12×10×(0.1)2⇒  1.5=0.1u+0.05⇒u=1.5-0.050.1=1.450.1=14.5 m/s
