Approx 5.1 metres.
Acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s2To reach speed of 27 m/s takes (27 / 9.8) secondsAverage speed during that interval = 1/2 (initial speed + final speed) = 27/2 m/s.Distance = (average speed) x (time) = (27/2) x (27/9.8) = 37.19 meters.
If the body is freely falling, this sum will remain constant.
Yes, mass is an intrinsic property of matter. However a freely falling object will experience no weight.
Velocity
The equation of motion is not modified. Net force = mass x acceleration, whether freely falling or not.

Since it is a free-fall motion, this means that acceleration is constant (=g) and therefore, Newton's equations of motion can be used. v2 = u2 + 2as where v is the final velocity u is the initial velocity a is the acceleration and s is the displacement of the body In this case, v = 13 ms-1 , u = 0, a = g ms-2 s = 132/2g m Taking g to be 10, s = 8.45 m (ans)
A freely body is the body which is freely falling under the force of gravity i.e. an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2
Freely falling bodies
It is a projectile falling with an acceleration equal to that of free fall. (an object falling in a vacuum at the earth's surface)
