A 1­kilogram rock dropped into the ocean would take 37 minutes to reach ­-6,660 meters. If the rock dropped steadily, how far would it fall in 1 minute?

Answer 1

To find out how far the rock would fall in 1 minute, we need to calculate the distance it falls per minute.

37 minutes are required for the rock to reach -6,660 meters.
Therefore, the rock falls (-6,660 meters / 37 minutes) = -180 meters per minute.

Thus, the rock would fall 180 meters in 1 minute.
