Answer: The rock would still weigh 90lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

No, weight has being proven to reduce by the further you move from the center of the Earth. But since even the tallest buildings in the world or tallest mountains are a tiny fraction of the Earth’s radius, the difference in weight won’t be something that can be measured as it’s a tiny fraction. So the mass of the rock doesn’t change what changes is the gravitational force ( g ). So the rock would still end up weighing 90lbs even at the top of the tower because it is still within the earths atmosphere.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer: 7 Boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope that helps!

CAN SOMEONE HELP EXPLAIN THIS TO ME !!!!
Jet001 [13]
The quadratic formula is above.

You want each equation in standard form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0
I begin each problem by defining variables.
For instance 3. Is in standard form. X^2 -2x - 3 = 0. a = 1, b = -2, c = -3

Now use quadratic formula: x = [- b + or - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]\2a
