Question

A rock is dropped from the top of a diving platform into the swimming pool below. Will the distance traveled by the rock in a 0.1-second interval near the top of its flight be the same as the distance covered in a 0.1-second interval just before it hits the water? No, the distance traveled in the 0.1 s just before hitting the water will be greater since the rock's velocity will be greater No, the distance traveled in the first 0.1 s will be greater since the rock's velocity will be smaller Olype here to 8

Explanation / Answer

correct answer is................. a

NO the distance travelled in 0.1sec just before hitting the water will be greater since the rocks velocity will be greater

initially vertical component of velocity is zero. when it hitting the water vertical velocity component increses. so net distance also increases
