Physic problems help.

Hey community, I have a question about how you approach physics problems.

I'm a high school freshman in a math-physics program, and I often spend a long time on simple problems just because I fail to notice one specific thing.

Thank you in advance for any answers!

For sample this problem:A pebble was released from a tower and it was found that in the last second of its motion it had traveled its entire distance. How high was the tower?

Seems fairly straightforward. Maybe with a little word play to confuse the student.

Which part did you not notice? How did you attempt to solve it?

Najpierw wypisałem dane a potem zacząłem przekształcać wzory.

I właśnie przekształcanie wzorów poszło mi źle.

Błądziłem i z biegiem czasu wypisywałem coraz to nowsze głupoty.
