Astone is dropped from a tower 100 meters above the ground. the stone falls past ground level and into a well. it hits the water at the bottom of the well 5.00 seconds after being dropped from the tower. calculate the depth of the well. given: g = -9.81 meters/second2.

22.5 meters

Explanation:

IN order to solve this you just have to use the formula for free fall:

Now we insert the values into the formula, we know time, 5 seconds:

So we know that the total height fmor the tower to the bottom of the well is 122.5, so we just withdraw the 100 meters that the tower is above the ground and we have that the depth of the well is 22.5 meters.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

we have to simplify it

firstly, we will factor it

now, we can cancel like terms

now, we can combine it

so, we get
