A 6m ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 1.3m from the wall at time =0sec and slides away from the wall at

a rate of 0.3m/s.
Find the velocity of the top of the ladder at time =2 (take the direction upwards as positive).


(Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

- 0.100

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the ladder,  H = 6 m

Distance at the bottom from the wall, B = 1.3 m

Let the distance of top of the ladder from the bottom at the wall is P

Thus,

from  Pythagoras theorem,

B² + P² = H²    .

or

B² + P² = 6²          ..............(1)      [Since length of the ladder remains constant]

at B = 1.3 m

1.3² + P² = 6²

or

P² = 36 - 1.69

or

P² = 34.31

or

P = 5.857

Now,

differentiating (1)

2B(\frac{dB}{dt})+2P(\frac{dP}{dt})=0

at t = 2 seconds

change in B = 0.3 × 2= 0.6 ft

Thus,

at 2 seconds

B = 1.3 + 0.6 = 1.9 m

therefore,

1.9² + P² = 6²

or

P = 5.69 m

on substituting the given values,

2(1.9)(0.3) + 2(5.69) × (\frac{dP}{dt}) = 0

or

1.14 + 11.38 × (\frac{dP}{dt}) = 0

or

11.38 × (\frac{dP}{dt}) = - 1.14

or

(\frac{dP}{dt}) = - 0.100

here, negative sign means that the velocity is in downward direction as upward is positive

I would go with option C. x, in the first equation. 

The X term has a coefficient of 3, the lowest common factor amongst the 3 terms making for easy isolation of the variable.

Kayla says that the point labeled C in the diagram below is the center. Raymond says that point C is the radius.
frutty [35]

Answer:

Kayla is correct The center is a fixed  point in the middle of the sphere

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics we have certain habit of rules for notation of points, coordinates, segments, angles and so on.

Usually we denote points,  by letters even more we denote with the first letter of the object we are denoting

Occasionally, we also denote  segments as radius in a circle and in a sphere, with letters,  that is r stands for  radius, h stands for height, in most cases we denote point for capital letters ( in a segment)  

When we denote radius, with small letter it should be placed at the center or over the segment we are traying to denote.

For points we only need to place the letter close to the to the point we want to denote.

Therefore Kayla is correct when says that c stand for " the center of the sphere"

Answer:

Calculate Mean Absolute Deviation (M.A.D)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean absolute deviation of the data, start by finding the mean of the data set.Find the sum of the data values, and divide the sum by the number of data values.Find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean: |data value – mean|.
