Suppose I had a tower that stood two Earth radii tall from the surface of the Earth to the top I start on the ground with a scal

e and big rock (I'm also a geology fan.) I weigh the rock and it's 90 lbs. Then I take the rock and the scale on an elevator and go up to the top of the tower. There I weigh the rock again. How much does the rock weigh up at the top of the tower.

Answer: The rock would still weigh 90lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

No, weight has being proven to reduce by the further you move from the center of the Earth. But since even the tallest buildings in the world or tallest mountains are a tiny fraction of the Earth’s radius, the difference in weight won’t be something that can be measured as it’s a tiny fraction. So the mass of the rock doesn’t change what changes is the gravitational force ( g ). So the rock would still end up weighing 90lbs even at the top of the tower because it is still within the earths atmosphere.

Shown below are the steps a student took to solve the simple interest formula A = P(1 + rt) for r.
asambeis [7]

To solve A = P(1 + rt) for r, first isolate (1 +rt) by dividing both sides of this equation by P:

A/P =  1 + rt.

Next, isolate rt by subtracting 1 from both sides:

A/P - 1 = rt

Finally, divide both sides by t:

A/P - 1

----------- = r

    t

This could be written in other formats, such as:

A - P

-------- = r

Pt

Ruby obtained a loan of $90,000 towards the purchase of her new home. If the loan was 75% of the purchase price, how much did sh
pantera1 [17]

Solution:

Loan amount = $90,000

Given that this loan is 75% of purchase price of the new home.

We are required to to determine the amount paid for the home.

Let the amount paid for the home be x

\begin{gathered} From\text{ the information given, } \\ 75\text{ \% of x = 90,000} \\ \frac{75}{100}x=90,000 \\ 0.75x=90,000 \\ x=\frac{90000}{0.75} \\ x=120,000 \end{gathered}

The amount she paid for the home is $120,000 (Dollars)
