A stone is dropped from the
top of a tower 500m high into a pond of water at the base of the tower When is the splash heard at the top? (Given, g = 10m/s-² and speed of sound = 340 m/s¹)

Respuesta :

  • Height=h=500m
  • Acceleration=g=10m/s^2
  • Initial velocity=u=0
  • Speed of sound=c=340m/s
  • TIME TAKEN BY STONE TO HIT WATER=t
  • Time taken by sound to hear back=T

Now

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto h=0t+\dfrac{1}{2}10t^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 500=5t^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto t^2=100[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto t=10s[/tex]

Now

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto h=cT[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto T=\dfrac{h}{c}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto T=\dfrac{500}{340}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto T=1.47\approx 1.5s[/tex]

Total time:-

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto T_{net}=t+T=10+1.5=11.5s[/tex]

The total time of motion of the stone is 11.47 seconds.

Time of motion from the given height

The time taken for the stone to drop from the given height is calculated as follows;

[tex]h = v_0t + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 500}{10} } \\\\t = 10 \ s[/tex]

Time it travels through the water

The time it takes the stone to travel through the water is calculated as follows;

[tex]t = \frac{500}{340} \\\\t = 1.47 \ s[/tex]

Thus, the total time of motion of the stone is 1.47 + 10 = 11.47 seconds.
