Question

A stone is dropped from the top of a well that has water in it at a depth of 30.0 m. How long does it take the
stone to reach the water?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Distance traveled by stone,(s)=30 m -----(1) [Given]

The initial speed of the stone,(u)=0 m/sec -----(2) [Given] [Stone initially at rest]

Acceleration due to gravity,(g)=9.81 m/sec2 -----(3) [Given]

Suppose time taken (t) by the stone to reach the water in seconds respectively.

Using 2nd equation of kinematics we get,
