Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Givens

d = 100 meters plus the depth of the well

d = 100 + x                          where x is the depth of the well.

vi = 0 m/s                           The object is dropped. It was not thrown.

t = 5 seconds

a = 9.81 m/s^2

formula

d = vi*t  +  1/2 a t^2

solution

100 + x = 0 + 1/2 * 9.81 * 5^2

100 + x = 122.625             Subtract 100 from both sides

x = 122.625 - 100

x = 22.6  m

The well is 22.6 meters deep.
