Math 12 Joint Variation Word Problem Help Please I've been stuck on this for a while now and I thought this question would be easy, but it's harder than I thought: The distance that an object falls due to gravity varies jointly as the acceleration "g" due to gravity and the square of the time "t" of the fall. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 0.172 of that on earth. If a rock falls for t0 (<<should be a tiny 0) seconds on earth, how many times further would the rock fall on the moon in 3t0(<<should be a tiny 0) seconds? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. *(Joint Variation Formula: y = kxz)*

Physics help I have a few questions that my teacher never told us how to do and it's stumping me real hard. He teaches us easy things and gives us hard homework.. and when i say "hard" i mean "EXTREMELY HARD". Okay, thanks in advance: A roofer is fixing your house but has forgotten to take up a hammer. (a) If the roofer is 20.0 m above you, what is the minimum velocity at which the hammer (m=2.00 kg) must be thrown at if it is to reach the roof? (b) What would the velocity be if it were a 4.00 kg hammer? (g=9.81 m/s^2) Once again, thanks in advance!

Physics 11 Homework Please Help The question is: [b]An insulated container(negligible specific heat capacity)contains 185g of water at a temperature of 12.0°C. If 295g of water at a temperature of 85.0°C is added, what is the final temperature of the mixture when it is completely mixed?[/b] If the container has a negligible specific heat capacity, shouldn't the formula then be Q=mt? But the answer for that would be 35.04°C, which is wrong because the correct answer is [b]56.9°C[/b]. I would really use some help here, thanks.:)
