I will assume here that the well is sufficiently short so that the time the sound takes to come from the bottom of the well to our ear is negligible.

Since the pebble moves by uniformly accelerated motion, the distance it covers is given by
S= \frac{1}{2}gt^2
where 
g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration
t=2.7 s is the time the pebble takes to reach the bottom of the well

Therefore, the depth of the well is
S= \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2.7 s)^2 = 35.7 m \sim 36 m
and the correct answer is B.

Why is it important to study solar flares?
andre [41]

In my opinion, solar flares are really cool to learn about because they are created by radiation from the sun and sun spots. Since solar flares happen in atmosphere, scientists learn about them and classify them in an interesting way. They do it by there strength so there are many different types. They are also many different colors you can find to. Hope this helped.

A train travels in a straight line at 18.0 m/s for 2 km, then at
aliina [53]

Answer:

It is less than 25m/s as the correct average is 24m/s.

Explanation:

This is becuase you need to take the average of the two speeds (18m/s and 30m/s) 18 + 30 divided by 2 is 24m/s.

A spring-loaded toy gun is used to launch a 12.0-g plastic ball. The spring which has a spring constant of 15.0 N/m is compresse
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

the elastic potencial energy stored when the spring is compressed x=8 cm is K(x)= 0.048 J

Explanation:

since the work is related with the force through

W=∫F dx

for a spring of constant k :

F=k*x , where F= compression force, x= compression length

then for a compression from 0 until x

W=∫F dx = ∫ k*x dx =  k ∫x dx =1/2*k*x² - 1/2*k*0² = V(x) - V(0)

since the work depends only on the final value of compression and not on the process 1/2*k*x² represents the elastic potential energy V stored in the spring, then

V(0) = 1/2*k*0² = 0  

V(x) = 1/2*k*x²

when the spring is compressed x= 8 cm = 0.08m , the elastic potencial energy is

V (x) = 1/2*k*x² = 1/2 * 15 N/m* (0.08m)² = 0.048 J
