Actually the original question is wrong say one brick weighs one brick and a half brick. lets put that into an equation... b = b+1/2b now substract 1/2b from bothe sides. b-1/2b = b b(1-1/2) = b so 1/2 = 1, Which is not possible. The Correct question is, If a brick weighs 1 kilo and half of the brick. then how heavy is 3 bricks and the answer is - 6 Kg.........
Not to hijack an informatice thread, but: What's the difference between a duck? One of its legs is both the same. neil
Since you've all figured out the brick question..... Which weighs more 1. a kilo of feathers 2. a kilo of bricks
I paid attention to the math classes in school ha ha ha dude, nice question. Sumit has answered that, now a new question for all. If you drop a 1kg brick and a .75 Grms feather from 75 feet hieght in the vaccume. Which will touch the ground first, in how many seconds and why?
They would hit the ground at the same time. There is no air, there would be no friction. Acceleration due to the gravity is the same. Mass of the body is not involved. I calculated this with acceleration due to gravity formula, did not calculate this on paper, calculated it in mind, both would hit the ground same time after 20secs (appox.) of being dropped.
Right!! at least you paid attention to the physics classes Wrong!! The free fall Acceleration is 32 feet/sec/sec. Now Calculate again.
i love math, but i am always confused with in KG, gram, bytes ... i am always putting only formula and try to get only answer as followed by formula. never treid that what the hell of they asked.
