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

@davidsucks123 do you know equation of motion, which relate distance to time and acceleration?

Answer 2

i do not /:

Answer 3

OK, The equation is
\[S= ut+\frac 12 a t^2\]
S= distance in meters
u=initial velocity in m/s
a= acceleration in m/s^2
t= seconds

Answer 4

Ok, What's the value of u ? or initial velocity of stone?

Answer 5

u is zero
