Answer:

The dimensions of rectangle a are 6x4 and dimensions of rectangle b are 6x2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a square with area 36 squared cm. Therefore, dimension of the square will be 6 cm.

The square is cut into two rectangles with areas in the ratio 2:1.

Let the dimensions of the rectangles be 6*a and 6*b. Therefore, we can set up the ratio of areas as:

\frac{6a}{6b}=\frac{2}{1}  \\a=2b

Moreover, we can set the combined area of rectangles equal to the area of square to form another equation:

6a+6b=36\\a+b=6

Using substitution method, we can solve for 'a' and 'b' as shown below:

2b+b=6\\3b=6\\b=2

And

a=2b\\a=2(2)\\a=4

Therefore, dimensions of the two rectangles are 6x4 and 6x2, respectively.

You throw a stone with a force of 55.1 N. It accelerates at 41.6 m/s2.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Mass = 1.3 Kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 55.1 N

Acceleration = 41.6 m/s²

To find the mass of the stone in kg;

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Force = mass * acceleration

Substituting into the formula, we have;

55.1 = mass * 41.6

Mass = \frac {55.1}{41.6}

Mass = 1.3 Kilograms
