Extra Credit Opportunity

Let's try again.
Send an email with the correct answer to this question before midnight on November 17th to receive extra credit on the next test.  The only catch is you have to solve the question two ways, once with the energy equations and once with kinematics equations, and you must show your work to get credit.  Email the answer to whithamscience@gmail.com

The red bird drops a turd that hits Ziggy's handsome bald head.  The bird poop has a velocity of 15.3 m/s right before it makes contact with Ziggy.  How high off the ground was the bird when he relieved himself?
