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.

Find the area for 5 and 7
hammer [34]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle:

A = \pi r^{2}

d = 2r

Plug in the values.

5.

A = \pi 7^{2}

A = 49\pi

7.

58 = 2r

r = 29

A = \pi 29^{2}

A = 841\pi

What is the best description for the lines
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Lines are described as connecting curve joining two points.

Step-by-step explanation:

In coordinate geometry, graph theory, we have points which do not occupy any space.

Any two points can be connected by a curve or a straight line.  If two points are joined by a straight line, then we have the slope of the line i.e. the tangent of angle of the line with x axis is constant.

Straight lines would be of the form ax+by+c=0

Hence in equation form, lines would have equations in linear form of both x and y.

Lines have constant slope throughout the region.

Lines can be extended from -infinity to +infinity

Any two distinct  points can make a line, but 3 points need not lie on the same line.
