Equations of motion — practice question

The water surface in a deep well lies $78.0\,\text{m}$ beneath the top of the well. From the top of the well, a person releases a heavy stone down the well. Air resistance is negligible. The speed of sound in air is $330\,\text{m s}^{-1}$. What is the time interval between the person releasing the stone and hearing it strike the water?

  • A$3.75\,\text{s}$
  • B$3.99\,\text{s}$
  • C$4.19\,\text{s}$
  • D$4.22\,\text{s}$
