Question:

Help with understanding this physics concept.?

Let's say there is this situation: A load of bricks is being lifted by a crane at the steady velocity of 5 m/s when one brick falls off 6m above the groundWhat is the greatest height the brick reaches above ground, how long does it take to reach the ground, what is the speed just before it hits the ground? Now that was the question, but I would like to know the concept behind this: It seems a bit too easy for the greatest height the brick has reached to be 6 m.but the brick falls off at 6mDoes this mean that it goes a bit higher than 6m and then falls, or just simply falls at 6 m? Please help!
