Two teams of movers are lowering a piano from the window of a 10 floor apartment building. The rope breaks when the piano is 30

meters above the ground. The movers on the ground, alerted by the shouts of the movers above, first notice the piano when it is 14 meters above the ground. How long do they have to get out of the way before the piano hits the ground

By solving the motion equations for the piano, we will see that they have 0.7 seconds to react.

<h3>How to find the motion equation for the piano.</h3>

So the piano is in a free fall from a height of 30m.

The motion equations will be given by:

  • The only force acting on the piano will be the gravitational one, thus the acceleration of the piano is the gravitational acceleration: a(t) = -9.8m/s^2 (Where the negative sign is because it is falling down).
  • To get the velocity we integrate over time, because the piano has no initial velocity, the constant of integration is zero: v(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t
  • To get the position equation we integrate again, here the initial position is 30 meters above the ground, so that will be our constant of integration: p(t) = (1/2)*(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 30m

<h3>How long takes to fall?</h3>

We want to find the value of t such that the position is equal to zero, so we need to solve:

0 = (1/2)*(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 30m

30m = (1/2)*(9.8m/s^2)*t^2

2*30m/(9.8m/s^2) = t^2

6.1 s^2 = t^2

√(6.1 s^2) = 2.5s = t

This means that the piano falls to the ground in 2.5 seconds.

But the workes notice it when the piano is 14 meters above the ground, it happens when:

p(t) = 14m =  (1/2)*(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 30m

Solving that we get:

30m - 14m =  (1/2)*(9.8m/s^2)*t^2

2*16m/(9.8m/s^2) = t^2

3.27s^2 = t^2

√(3.27s^2) = t = 1.8s

So the piano falls in 2.5 seconds, and the works notice it 1.8 seconds after it starts falling, meaning that they have:

2.5 - 1.8 = 0.7 seconds to react.

Robert bought X pounds of potatoes for $1.99 per pound. He paid for the potatoes with a $10 bill. Which of the following variabl
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
First, we have to figure out the expression for the total price of potatoes. We find that by multiplying the price of potatoes per pound by how many pounds were bought. Robert bought x pounds of potatoes at $1.99 per pound. This can be written as:

$1.99x

Next, we have to find the equation for Robert's change. Change is defined as amount paid minus cost. In this scenario, Robert paid $10, and we already know the cost is $1.99x. So using this information, we can now write the equation:

$10 - $1.99x

So the answer is a.

Eli invested $ 330 $330 in an account in the year 1999, and the value has been growing exponentially at a constant rate. The val
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The value of the account in the year 2009 will be $682.

Step-by-step explanation:

The acount's balance, in t years after 1999, can be modeled by the following equation.

A(t) = Pe^{rt}

In which A(t) is the amount after t years, P is the initial money deposited, and r is the rate of interest.

$330 in an account in the year 1999

This means that P = 330

$590 in the year 2007

2007 is 8 years after 1999, so P(8) = 590.

We use this to find r.

A(t) = Pe^{rt}

590 = 330e^{8r}

e^{8r} = \frac{590}{330}

e^{8r} = 1.79

Applying ln to both sides:

\ln{e^{8r}} = \ln{1.79}

8r = \ln{1.79}

r = \frac{\ln{1.79}}{8}

r = 0.0726

Determine the value of the account, to the nearest dollar, in the year 2009.

2009 is 10 years after 1999, so this is A(10).

A(t) = 330e^{0.0726t}

A(10) = 330e^{0.0726*10} = 682

The value of the account in the year 2009 will be $682.
