Math Problem Statement
A bucket is thrown vertically down a well with a velocity of 4.19 m/s. The bucket then takes 1.07 s to reach the bottom of the well. What is the depth of the well?
Only give the numerical answer. No units.
Use at least 4 decimals in the procedure.
Provide only 2 decimals in the final result, without rounding.
Solution
To find the depth of the well, we use the equation for displacement under constant acceleration:
Where:
- is the initial velocity,
- is the time,
- is the acceleration due to gravity.
Now, calculating step by step.
Now, summing them up:
Final result: 10.09
