David drops his lucky marble into a dry well. a) David hears the marble hit the bottom of the dry well 20 seconds later. What is the depth of the well? Assume the acceleration of gravity yo be 9.81 m/s^2 and the speed of sound to be 340 m/s. b) If David would have thrown the marble up with a speed of 5 m/s after how many seconds would have David heard the marble hit the bottom of the well?
