A 1kilogram rock dropped into the ocean would take 37 minutes to reach -6,660 meters. If the rock dropped steadily, how far would it fall in 1 minute?
To find out how far the rock would fall in 1 minute, we need to calculate the distance it falls per minute.
37 minutes are required for the rock to reach -6,660 meters.
Therefore, the rock falls (-6,660 meters / 37 minutes) = -180 meters per minute.
Thus, the rock would fall 180 meters in 1 minute.
To find how far the rock would fall in 1 minute, we can use the given information that it takes 37 minutes for the rock to reach -6,660 meters.
We can divide the total distance by the total time:
-6,660 meters ÷ 37 minutes = -180 meters per minute
Therefore, the rock would fall 180 meters in 1 minute.
