Answer:

The answer to the question is

It would take about 167.021 s  to splash down in the arctic ocean.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational force is given by

F_G = \frac{G*m_1*m_2}{r^2}

Where m₁ mass of the piano and

m₂ = mass of the Earth

r = 3·R where R = radius of the earth

as stated in the question we have varying acceleration due to the inverse square law

Therefore at 3 × Radius of the earth we have

F_G = 109.083 N and the acceleration =1.09083 m/s²

If the body falls from 3·R to 2·R with that acceleration we have

S = u·t +0.5×a·t²  = 0.5×a·t² as u = 0

That is 6371 km = 0.5·1.09083·t²

t₁ = 108.079 s and we have

v₁² = u₁² +2·a₁·s₁ =  2·a₁·s₁ = 117.895 m/s

For the next stage r₂ = 2R

Therefore F = 245.436 N and a₂ = F/m₁ = 2.45436 m/s²

Therefore the time from 2R to R is given by

S₂ =R=u·t+0.5·a₂·t² = v₁·t + 0.5·a₂·t²

or 6371 km = 117.895 m/s × t + 0.5 × 2.45436 × t²

Which gives 1.22718 × t² + 117.895 × t -6371  = 0

Factorizing we have (t+134.631)(t-38.56)×1.22718 = 0

Therefore t = -134.631 s or 38.56 s as we only deal with positive values of time in the present question we have t₂ = 38.56 s and

v₂² = v₁² + 2·a₂·S  = (117.895 m/s)² + 2·2.45436 m/s²×6371 km = 45172.686

v₂ = 212.54 m/s

For final stage we have r = R and

F_{G3} = 981.746 N and a₂ = F/m₁ = 9.81746 m/s²

Therefore the time from R to the arctic ocean  is given by

S₃ =R=v₂·t+0.5·a₂·t² = 212.54·t + 0.5·9.81746·t² = 6371

Which gives

Therefore t₃ = 20.382 s

Therefore, it will take about t₁ + t₂ + t₃ = 108.079 s + 38.56 s + 20.382 s  = 167.021 s  to splash down in the ocean

One month,ruby worked 6 hours more than Isaac, and Svetlana worked 4 times as many hours as ruby. Together they worked 126 hours
Misha Larkins [42]
I + 6 = r

4r = s

i + r + s = 126

4i + 24 = 4r

s= 4r

i = r-6

4i+24=i+6
-3i=18

i = 6

Six pyramids are shown inside of a cube. The height of the cube is h units. The lengths of the sides of the cube are b.The area
Viefleur [7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Cubes have square faces, so the area of the base is b².

The volume of the cube is b³.

The height of each pyramid is half the height of the cube, so h = b/2.  Which means b = 2h.

The cube is made of 6 square pyramids with the same base and height.  Therefore, each pyramid has 1/6 the volume of the cube.  So the volume of each pyramid is b³/6.

If 112 people attend a concert and tickets for adults cost $2.25 while tickets for children cost $and total receipts for the con
Brut [27]

Answer:

42 child and 70 adult

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = number of adult tickets

c = number of child tickets

a+c = 112

2.25a + 1.75c = 231

Solve the first equation for a

a = 112-c

Substitute this into the second equation

2.25(112-c) + 1.75c = 231

Distribute

252 - 2.25c +1.75c = 231

Combine like terms

252 -.5c = 231

Subtract 252 from each side

252-252 -.5c = 231-252

-.5c = -21

Divide each side by -.5

-.5c/-.5 = -21/ -.5

c = 42

Now can find a

a = 112-c

a = 112-42

a = 70

A publisher reports that 45% of their readers own a laptop. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage is
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.40 -0.45}{\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{370}}}=-1.933  

p_v =2*P(z  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=370 represent the sample selected

\hat p=0.4 estimated proportion of  readers owned a laptop

p_o=0.45 is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Creating the hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test if the true proportion of readers owned a laptop is different from 0.45, the system of hypothesis are:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.45  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.45  

The statistic is:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing we got:

z=\frac{0.40 -0.45}{\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{370}}}=-1.933  

Calculating the p value  

We have a bilateral test so then the p value would be:

p_v =2*P(z
