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

The distance to the nearest exit doir is no more than 150 feet. Use d to represent the distance in feet to the nearest exit door
il63 [147K]

Answer: d\leq150

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information given in the problem:

- The distance to the nearest exit door is no more than 150 feet.

-  d represents the distance to the nearest exit door, in feet.

2. Therefore, keeping the information above on mind, you know that the  distance to the nearest exit door (d) must be less than or equal to 150 feet, then, you can express this as following:

d\leq150

Solve the following system of equations by graphing. Label the solution and all intercepts.
olganol [36]

Answer:

(4,4)

y = 4

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to input y = 1/2x + 2 into 4x - 2y = 8.

4x - 2 (1/2x + 2) = 8 <-- Then solve

4x - 1x + -4 = 8

3x - 4 = 8

    +4   +4

---------------------

3x    =    12

3             3

x = 4

Now we need to use x and apply it to find y.

y = 1/2x + 2

y = 1/2(4) + 2

y = 2 + 2

y = 4

Now to graph go on the x axis (horizontal axis) and go to 4, then up 4 on the y axis.

You need to graph the point (4,4).

I hope this helps!

Tell whether x and y show direct variation.Explain your reasoning.If so, find k #3
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

x and y do not show direct variation.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for direct variation is

y = kx     Divide each side by y

k = y/x

k should have the same value for every point except, of course, (0,0)

For the first point,

k = 2/(-1) = -2

For the third point,

k = 2/1 = 2

The values of k are different, so x and y <em>do not</em> show direct variation.

Find y' by implicit differentiation √x +√y =1
AleksandrR [38]
Differentiate both sides with respect to x

\frac{d}{dx}(x^{\frac{1}{2}} + y^{\frac{1}{2}}) = \frac{d}{dx}(1)\\\\ \frac{1}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}} + \frac{1}{2y^{\frac{1}{2}}}\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\\\\\frac{1}{2y^{\frac{1}{2}}}\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}\\\\\frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}}\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \times 2\sqrt{y}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{\sqrt{y}}{\sqrt{x}} \\\\\boxed{\bf{y'= -\frac{\sqrt{y}}{\sqrt{x}}}}

If five times the measure of an angle is decreased by 30, the result is the same as when two times the measure of the angle is i
Serhud [2]

Answer:

  16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent the measure of the angle. Then ...

  5a -30 = 2a +18

  3a = 48 . . . . . . . add 30-2a

  a = 16 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

An angel is beyond measure, but this angle has measure 16.
