A.

A ball is dropped from height h, then the velocity with which it hits the surface of water is
V 2  u 2  2as  V  2 gh  V  2  9.8  6.6
V  11.4 m
Be careful with the number of significant digits. If this is also not correct choose g as 10.
B. The time required by the ball to reach the surface of the water is
V 2 gh 2h
V  u  at  t  t  t 
g g g
2  6.60
t
9.8
t  1.16 sec
C. The time it takes to travel through the water is
to  4.46  1.16
to  3.30 sec
Now the depth of the sea is
d  Vt  t 2 gh  3.3 2  9.8  6.6
d  37.5 m
This is the depth of the sea.
