Answer:

12.1 seconds

Explanation:

t = time duration

u = initial speed

v = final speed = 0

s = distance = 120 m

a = lunar gravity acceleration = 1.67 m/s²

Motion equation

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\times -1.67\times 120-0^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{2\times 1.67\times 120}\\\Rightarrow u=20.02\ m/s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-20.2}{-1.67}\\\Rightarrow t=12.1\ s

The rock takes 12.1 seconds to reach the bottom of the crater.

A bus slows down uniformly from 75.0 km/h to 0 km/h in 21 s. How far does it travel before stopping?
Yuliya22 [3333]

1 hour = 3,600 seconds
1 km = 1,000 meters

75 km/hour = (75,000/3,600) m/s = 20-5/6 m/s

The mean speed during the deceleration is

                                   (1/2)(20-5/6 + 0) = 10-5/12 m/s.

Traveling at this average speed for 21 seconds,
the bus covers

                        (10-5/12) × (21) = 218.75 meters.

Albert uses as his unit of length (for walking to visit his neighbors or plowing his fields) the albert (a), the distance albert
Yuliya22 [3333]

To tackle this question, we know the following:

1 Albert equals 88 meters.

1 A = 88 m.

Initially, we square both sides of the equation:

(1 A)^2 = (88 m)^2

1 A^2 = 7,744 m^2

<span>Since 1 acre equals 4,050 m^2, let’s divide both sides by 7,744 to find out how many acres match this value:</span>

1 A^2 / 7,744 = 7,744 m^2 / 7,744

(1 / 7,744) A^2 = 1 m^2

Then multiply both sides by 4,050.

(4050 / 7744) A^2 = 4050 m^2

0.523 A^2 = 4050 m^2

<span>Thus, one acre is approximately 0.52 square alberts.</span>
