Alead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 16.0 ft above the water. it hits the water with a certain velocity and then sinks to the bottom with this same constant velocity. if it reaches the bottom 5.30 s after it is dropped, how deep is the lake (in feet)?

138.46 ft

Explanation:

When the ball is dropped until the moment it hits the water, the ball moves in a uniform acceleration motion. Therefore, the equation that describes the movement of the ball is:

$X = \frac{1}{2}*g*t^{2} + V_{0} *t + x_0$

Where X is the distance that the ball has fallen at a time t. V_0 is the initial velocity, which is 0 ft/s as the ball was simply dropped. x_0 is the initial position, we will say that this value is 0 in the position where the ball was dropped for simplicity, and it increases as the ball is falling. Now, we replace x with 16 feets and solves for t:

$16 ft = \frac{1}{2} * 32.2 \frac{ft}{s^{2}} *t^{2} +0 \frac{ft}{s} * t + 0 ft$

$t = \sqrt{2* \frac{16 ft}{32.2 \frac{ft}{s^2}}} = 1 s$

The velocity that the ball will have at the moment the ball that the ball hits the water will be:

$V = V_o+g*t=0\frac{ft}{s}+32.2\frac{ft}{s^2}*1s =32.2\frac{ft}{s}$

The time that will take the ball to reach the bottom from the top of the lake will be t = 5.3s - 1s = 4.3s. And as the ball will travel with constant velocity equal to 32.2 ft/s^2, the depth of the lake will be:

$d = v*t = 32.2\frac{ft}{s} * 4.3s = 138.46 ft$

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water

Aparticle's position is given by x = 3.00 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) what is its velocity at t = 1 s? (b) is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) what is its speed just then? (d) is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0". (f) is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0".
