David throws a bucket with an initial speed of 2 meters per second into a well that is 30 meters deep. When will the bucket hit the bottom of the well?


A. About 2.69 seconds
B. About 30 seconds
C. About 3.82 seconds
D. About 4.21 seconds


Answer: A

Respuesta :

Applying the expression for speed, we found that the time taken for the bucket to hit the bottom of the well is 15 seconds

Speed, Distance, Time

Given Data

Speed = 2 meters per second

Distance = 30 meters

Time = ??

We know that the expression for the relationship between speed, distance and time is given as

Speed = Distance/Time

substituting we have

2 = 30/t

cross  multiplying

2t = 30

divide both sides by 2

t = 30/2

t = 15 seconds
