    Physics car problem kinematics

    i am using the s=d/t and for the speed i split it up into two separate parts for both the different speeds (117 and 65km/hr) but i am not given distance or time. so both equations i have (65km/hr)= d/t and (117km/hr)= d/t. i thought about putting 1/2 for d because its half the distance of the...

    How Much Sand Equals the Surface Area of a Cube?

    i am thinking to take (4.86m^2)/(3.141e -8m^2) to find out how many grains of sand is needed but when i do that the m^2 will both cancel out and i will be left with just a very large number (154698604.7). I am guessing that is the number of sand grains needed to fit a cube with a surface area...
