A ball is dropped from the top of an abandoned well. Exactly 6 seconds later, the sound of the bal hitting the bottom is heard by the person standing at the top of the well. How deep is the hole? Assume that the distance fallen by the ball in t seconds is d = 16t', and that sound travels at a speed of 1100 ft/sec. The well is feet deep. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Sound travels about 750 miles per hour. If you stand in a canyon and sound a horn, you will hear an echo.Suppose it takes about 3.5 seconds to hear the echo. How far away is the canyon wall, in feet? feetNow let's generalize that result. Suppose it takes n seconds to hear the echo. How far away is the canyon wall, in terms of n? feet
ASK YOUR TEACHER (a) A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 38 m high cliff into a pool of water.
