A lead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 5.0 m above the water. After entering the water, it sinks to the bottom with a constant velocity equal to the velocity with which it hit the water. The ball reaches the bottom 3.0 s after it is released. How deep is the lake

Explanation:

To find Depth D of lake we must need to find the time taken to hit the water.So we use equation of simple motion as:

Δx=vit+(1/2)at²

As we have find the time taken now we need to find the final velocity vf from below equation as

So the depth of lake is given by:

first we need to find total time as

t=3.0-1.01 =1.99 s

i think the answer is a and b

i wish you luck

distance = 150m

displ = root (50 ^2 + 100^2)

root(2500+10000)

root 125000
