Question

A ladybug falls into small hole. it takes 8.6s for the ladybug to hit the bottom. how deep is the hole? (take g=9.81 m/s²)

​

Answer 1

Length of hole (s) = 362.77 m (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken to hit the bottom (t) = 8.6 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s²

Find:

Length of hole (s) = ?

Computation:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

S = ut +1/2(gt²)

S = (0)(8.6) +1/2(9.81)(8.6)(8.6)

S = 1/2(9.81)(8.6)(8.6)

S = 1/2(9.81)(8.6)(8.6)

S = 362.7738

Length of hole (s) = 362.77 m (Approx)
