Initial velocity u = 0

Acceleration, a = g = 9.8 m s-2

Distance travelled, s = 19.6 m

Let the final velocity be v

According to the third equation of motion

\\v^{2}-u^{2}=2as\\ v^{2}-0^{2}=2\times 9.8\times 19.6\\ v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 19.6}\\ v=19.6\ m\ s^{-1}

Its final velocity just before touching the ground will be 19.6 m s-1.
