. How does the area of a rectangle relate to the lengths of each side?

iragen [17]

Area is 2-dimensional which means it has a length and a width area is measured in square units such as square inches, square feet or square meters. To find the area of a rectangle multiply the length by the width.

Gravity on the moon is about 1/6 th the gravity felt on the earth. This is because A) the moon is so far away from the earth. B)

ankoles [38]

<span>So we want to know why is there a difference between the force of gravity on the Moon and the force of gravity of the Earth. So the gravitational force between two objects depends on the masses of both objects. That can be seen from Newtons universal law of gravity. F=G*m1*m2*(1/r^2). So lets say we are holding an object of mass m=1kg on a height r=1m on the Moon and we are holding the same object on the Earth also on the same height of r=1m. The Gravitational force on the Earth will be Fg=G*M*m*(r^2) where M is the mass of the Earth. The force between the moon and that object will be Fg=G*n*m*(r^2), where n is the mass of the moon. Since mass of the Moon is much smaller than mass of the Earth, The gravitational force between the Moon and that body will be almost 6 times smaller than the gravitational force between the Earth and that body. So the correct answer is B. </span>

A car with mass 1500 kg moves with constant velocity of 36 m/s. The driver sees a group of cows in front and he immediately step

Crazy boy [7]

From laws of motion:

$S = ( \frac{v + u}{2} ) \times t$
Where S is the distance/displacement (as you would call it) which is unknown
v = final velocity which is 0m/s (this is because the car stops)
u = initial velocity which is 36m/s (from the data given)
t = time taken for the distance to be covered and it is 6s

Substitute the values, hence:
$S = ( \frac{0 + 36}{2} ) \times 6$
$S = (18) \times 6 \\ \\ S = 108m$

But this is merely the distance he travelled in the 6 seconds he was trying to stop the car.

Therefore, the distance between the car and the cows = 160-108
Distance = 52m
