i threw a pebble 20m high in the air if it fell and settled at the bottom of the lake 12m deep.what is the distance the pebble fell?


Anonymous: do u want the distance to the sea from the peak
Avishek: meaning do u want the total distance travelled by pebble?
swethapasula: total distance
swethapasula: does it take any - sign while dropping from peak?
Avishek: No, when we are taking of distance then we refer to the length of the path it travels, so there is no scope of - sign :)
swethapasula: k thak u very much both of u
Avishek: u r welcome from both of us :)

The distance it traveled from the ground=20m
the distance from there to back ground=20m
the distance from ground the bottom of the sea=12m
so,tot.distance=20+20+12=52

The total distance travelled by the stone is :
The height reached (When the stone is rising) + The height reached (When the stone is coming down and reaches the land surface) + Depth of lake (When the stone reaches the bottom part of lake).

So, we get : 20 + 20 + 12
= 52m

Hope that helps !!
