Apparent depth is dangerous for swimmers because 
<span> When you look vertically downwards into a </span>swimming<span> pool full of water the bottom  seems closer than it. </span>If the pool is really deep and it doesn't look deep to you that's not good cuz if you don't know how to swim in deep water you might drown.

Hope this helps ;)

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 12m/s from the edge of a cliff 70 m high (a) How much later it reaches the b
jonny [76]

Answer

given,

vertical speed of stone,v = 12 m/s

height of the cliff = 70 m

a) time taken by the stone to reach at the bottom of the cliff

We know that,

S = u t + 1/2 a t²

- 70 = 12 t - 0.5 x 9.8 t²

4.9 t² - 12 t - 70 = 0  

solving the equation

t = 5.2 s (neglecting the negative value)

b) again using equation of motion

   v = u + a t

   v = 12 - 9.8 x 5.2

  v = -38.96 m/s

ignoring the negative sign

magnitude of velocity is equal to 38.96 m/s

c) total distance travel by the stone

  vertical distance covered by the stone

 v² = u² + 2 g h

 0 = 12² - 2 x 9.8 x h

 h = 7.34 m

to reach the stone to the same level distance travel be doubled.

Total distance travel by the stone

H = h + h + 70

H = 7.34 x 2 + 70

H = 84.7 m.
