-- It takes the brick 8.9 seconds to reach the ground.
-- At the instant of the "splat", it's falling at 89 m/s.
-- The mass doesn't matter. If not for air resistance, every object
would fall at the same rate. The answer is the same for a feather,
a rubber chicken, a brick, or a school bus.
Answer: 1037 miles per hour
Explanation: In order to see the sun in the same position in the sky, you would have to travel against the speed of rotation of the earth, because this is what causes the sun to appear in a constantly changing position.
Because of this, we will have to calculate the speed of rotation of the earth. To get started, we must know the circumference of the earth. Assuming the circumference formula for a sphere,

Where R is the radius of the earth, we find that the perimeter of the earth is approximately 24881 miles. The equation to calculate speed is given by

Because the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours, we have to find the speed of rotation as the perimeter of the earth divided by 24 hours.
The obtained result is 1037 miles per hour.
You would have to travel at 1037 miles per hour in the direction opposite to the direction the rotation is ocurring in.
First we need to find the acceleration of the skier on the rough patch of snow.
We are only concerned with the horizontal direction, since the skier is moving in this direction, so we can neglect forces that do not act in this direction. So we have only one horizontal force acting on the skier: the frictional force,

. For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the skier must be equal to ma (mass per acceleration), so we can write:

Where the negative sign is due to the fact the friction is directed against the motion of the skier.
Simplifying and solving, we find the value of the acceleration:

Now we can use the following relationship to find the distance covered by the skier before stopping, S:

where

is the final speed of the skier and

is the initial speed. Substituting numbers, we find:
