The weight of a person on or above the surface of the earth varies inversely as the square of the distance the person is from th

e center of the earth. If a person weighs 180 pounds on the surface of the earth and the radius of the earth is 3900 miles, what will the person weigh if he or she is 850 miles above the earth's surface? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a pound.

If you do this with a complex set of fractions and let
K = G Me m_space be the same in both parts, there should be some cancellation.

W_earth = 180 lbs

W_earth = K /3900 miles^2
W_space =K  /(3900 + 850)^2

180 / W_space = k/3900^2
x = k / (4750)^2

\frac{180}{Wspace} =  \frac{ \frac{k}{3900^{2} } }{ \frac{k}{4750^{2}} /[tex]\\Now you need to invert and multiply the bottom fraction on the left.\\[tex] \frac{180}{x} {=} \frac{k}{3900^{2}} {*} \frac{4750^{2}}{k} 

The ks cancel out.

You are left with 180/x = 4750^2 / 3900^2 Now cross multiply
180 * 3900^2 = 4750^2  = x
180 * 3900^2 / 4750^2 = x 
180 * 0.67413 = x
x = 121 pounds. Weight is a force, but because all the units on one side are equivalent to the units on the other, the conversions become part of k. Normally you would have to do the conversions, but not in this particular case.

PLEASE HELP A store is having a sale on chocolate chips and walnuts. For 5 pounds of chocolate chips and 3 pounds of walnuts, th
Stells [14]

Answer:

Chocolate Chips cost $2.25 and Walnuts cost $3.25 per pound each

Step-by-step explanatChocion:

Let x = cost of pounds of chocolate chip cookies and y = cost of pounds of walnuts.

From the question, we get 5x+3y = 21 and 2x+6y = 24. To solve the equation, we use substitution. From the first equation, we get y = (21-5x)/3. We substitute the y into the second equation to get 2x + 6(21-5x)/3 = 24. This turns out to be 2x+(42-10x) = 24. Adding like terms you should get 42-8x = 24. Solving for x, x = $2.25 per pound. Plugging this into the first equation, we get 5(2.25)+3y = 21. Solving for y, we get $3.25 per pound of walnuts. If we plug in the numbers into the 2 equations, we will get the right total.

Help a girl out with geometry
Darya [45]
Follow the steps

106=x+79+x+45
106=2x+124
-124= -124
-18=2x
( -18)/2=(2x)/2 <----- solving for x
-9=x

then
angle LMF= -9+79
=70

angle FMN= -9+45
= 36
(when you add 70 and 36 together you get 106 which is the measurement of angle LMN or in other word the whole thing)

In conclusion the answer to the problem is:
Angle LMF is equal to 70.

Lim x-1 x2 - 1/ sin(x-2)
balu736 [363]

Answer:

           \lim_{x \to 1}\frac{x^2-1}{sin(x-2)}=0

Explanation:

Assuming the correct expression is to find the following limit:

         \lim_{x \to 1}\frac{x^2-1}{sin(x-2)}

Use the property the limit of the quotient is the quotient of the limits:

         \lim_{x \to 1}\frac{x^2-1}{sin(x-2)}=\frac{\lim_{x \to 1}x^2-1}{\lim_{x \to 1}sin(x-2)}

Evaluate the numerator:

          \frac{\lim_{x \to 1}x^2-1}{\lim_{x \to 1}sin(x-2)}=\frac{1^2-1}{\lim_{x \to1}sin(x-2)}=\frac{0}{\lim_{x \to 1}sin(x-2}

Evaluate the denominator:

  • Since         \lim_{x \to1}sin(x-2)\neq 0

                  \frac{0}{\lim_{x \to1}sin(x-2)}=0
