A yardstick measures 36 inches., but Sarah is using a "faulty" yardstick (one that measures 40 inches long) to measure the campers in her youth group. Sarah will not get a(n) indication of height, but she will have a(n)measure of height.

Valid ; reliable

Explanation: Sarah would not get a valid or accurate result or measurement due to the fact that she is using a 'faulty' yardstick in taking her measurement as the original measurement of the stick sukd be 36 inches in length, However, her measurement is being made with a 40 inches stick. This results in a deviation of 4 yards, thus probably leading to an invalid or inaccurate measurement. However, her readings are still reliable as the deviation in the measuring instrument isn't so large to result in unreliability of her recording.

we can solve this via the kinematic equation:

where the vertical velocity is zero and so:

since the height of the building is 29.3 meters then:

the ball was in motion for approximately 2.45 seconds

rain should be the answer.
