Answer:
Depth of well = 52.92 m
Explanation:
Consider the equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²
Take upward direction as positive,
Initial velocity, u = 8 m/s
Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²
Time, t = 4.20 s
Substituting
s = ut + 0.5 at²
s = 8 x 4.20 + 0.5 (-9.81) x 4.20²
s = -52.92 m
So stone travels 52.92 m below the initial position.
Depth of well = 52.92 m
