Question

If a stone dropped into a well reaches the water's surface after 3.0 seconds, how far did the stone drop before hitting the water?

Answer 1

Answer:B-44

Explanation: plato

Answer 2

Distance, d = 44.1 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, if a stone dropped into a well reaches the water's surface after 3.0 seconds, t = 3 s

We need to find the distance covered by the stone before hitting the water. Let distance covered is s. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as :

`s=ut+(1)/(2)at^2`

Here, u = 0 and a = g

`s=0+(1)/(2)* 9.8* (3)^2`

s = 44.1 meters

So, the distance covered by the stone before hitting the water is 44.1 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
