Question

DO NOT COPY FROM ANOTHER ANSWER! I Will know!!

A stone was thrown into a pond from 8 feet above the surface of the water in the pond. Justin wrote +8 feet to represent the height from which the stone was thrown. What does 0 represent in this situation?

the depth of water in the pond
the level at which the stone fell
the surface of the water in the pond
the level from which the stone was thrown

Answer 1

I believe it would be "the surface of the water in the pond" I hope that helps.

Answer 2

It has to be the surface of the water, stone was 8ft above the surface.
depth is height of ground to surface.
level it fell was 8 ft
if level it was thrown was 0 then the surface would be -8ft
C is the right answer
