Pebble falls into the pond from the surface and it descends at a rate of 2 feet per second.

So basically, the pebble is descending or falling down at 2 feet per second which means after every 1 second, it goes 2 feet down.

The equation to represent the depth of the pebble with time is given by:


d= 2 * t

Where, 'd' is the depth after certain time and 't' is the time in seconds.

Now, we need to find the depth of the pebble after 5 seconds.

Plugging the value
t=5, we get:


d=2* 5=10 ft

So, after 5 seconds the pebble will be at the depth of 10 feet.
