Whatever the statement is, I know one thing for sure: It's NOT included on the list of choices that you've provided.
Greater water pressure acts on the bottom than on the top
Answer:
0.71 m/s
Explanation:
We find the time it takes the stone to hit the water.
Using y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of bridge, u = initial speed of stone = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² (negative since it is directed downwards)and t = time it takes the stone to hit the water surface.
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
y = ut - 1/2gt²
82.2 m = (0m/s)t - 1/2( -9.8 m/s²)t²
82.2 m = 0 + (4.9 m/s²)t²
82.2 m = (4.9 m/s²)t²
t² = 82.2 m/4.9 m/s²
t² = 16.78 s²
t = √16.78 s²
t = 4.1 s
This is also the time it takes the raft to move from 5.04 m before the bridge to 2.13 m before the bridge. So, the distance moved by the raft in time t = 4.1 s is 5.04 m - 2.13 m = 2.91 m.
Since speed = distance/time, the raft's speed v = 2.91 m/4.1 s = 0.71 m/s
