A stone is thrown vertically down a well at a speed of 2.7 m s¹. It takes the stone 2.02 s to reach the water at the bottom of the well. Calculate i. the speed with which the stone is falling just before it touches the water. ii. the depth of the well (The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m s2. Air resistance is negligible.)
