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

Answer:

A. (-1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, find which point in the options are in the double shaded region (the region that is shaded the darkest which is the region above the point where the lines cross).

A. (-1, 3) is the correct answer because it falls in the correct region.

B. (-4, 1) is not the correct answer because it does not fall ABOVE both lines like the question says.

C. (0, 1) is not the correct answer because it falls in the 2nd darkest region.

According to the ratio of the age, if Rs. 216 is divided to the girls of age 8, 9 ad 10 yearsHow much money will each get ​
SSSSS [86.1K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 8 years: Rs. 64
  • 9 years: Rs. 72
  • 10 years: Rs. 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of ages is 8+9+10 = 27, so each year of age is rewarded by ...

  216/27 = 8 . . . Rs

Then age 8 gets 8(Rs. 8) = Rs. 64

  age 9 gets 9(Rs. 8) = Rs. 72

  age 10 gets 10(Rs. 8) = Rs. 80
