The rate of change of the volume of a snowball that is melting is proportional to the surface area of the snowball. Suppose the

snowball is perfectly spherical. Then the volume (in centimeters cubed) of a ball of radius r centimeters is 4/3πr3. The surface area is 4πr2. Set up the differential equation for how r is changing. Then, suppose that at time t = 0 minutes, the radius is 10 centimeters. After 5 minutes, the radius is 8 centimeters. At what time t will the snowball be completely melted?

Answer:

The time will be 25 minutes in which snowball be completely melted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The rate of change of the volume of a snowball that is melting is proportional to the surface area of the snowball. Suppose the snowball is perfectly spherical.

Then the volume (in centimeters cubed) of a ball of radius r centimeters is V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

The surface area is S=4\pi r^2

Set up the differential equation for how r is changing. Then, suppose that at time t = 0 minutes, the radius is 10 centimeters. After 5 minutes, the radius is 8 centimeters.

To find : At what time t will the snowball be completely melted?

Solution :

Using given condition,

\frac{dV}{dt}\propto S

\frac{dV}{dt}=\lambda S ....(1)

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{4}{3}\pi 3r^2\frac{dr}{dt}

Substitute in (1),

\frac{4}{3}\pi 3r^2\frac{dr}{dt}=\lambda 4\pi r^2

\frac{dr}{dt}=\lambda

r=\lambda t+c

Now, t=0 , r=10

So, 10=\lambda(0)+c

c=10

i.e. r=\lambda t+10

After 5 minutes, t=5 , r=8

8=\lambda (5)+10

5\lambda=-2

\lambda=-\frac{2}{5}

The equation form is r=-\frac{2}{5}t+10

The snowball be completely melted means radius became zero.

0=-\frac{2}{5}t+10

\frac{2}{5}t=10

t=\frac{10\times 5}{2}

t=25

The time will be 25 minutes in which snowball be completely melted.

4x^2-7x=15<br> Solve by factoring and please please please explain or show the work
vodomira [7]

Answer:

x=3 and x=-1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2-7x=15

subtract 15 from each side:

4x^2-7x-15=0

factor  (trying different numbers that the sum is 7 and the quotient is 15)

(2x-6 )(2x+2.5 )=0

2x-6=0 add 6 to each side

2x=6

x=3

2x+2.5=0   subtract 2.5 from each side

2x=-2.5

x=-1.25

The diagram below shows a student using a clinometer to measure the height of a flagpole. When the student stands 40 feet away f
AVprozaik [17]
The correct answer is the flagpole is <span>33 feet high</span>.

Explanation:
Please refer to the attached picture.

We know:
CD = 40 feet
AC = 5 feet
∠BDC = α = 35°

Using trigonometry, we know that the definition of the tangent of an angle is the ratio between the opposite side and the adjacent side, therefore:
tan α = BC / CD

Solving for BC:
BC = CD · <span>tan α
      = 40 </span>· tan (35)
      = 28 feet

In order to find the height of the flagpole, we need to add the distance of the clinometer from the ground:
AB = BC + AC
      = 28 + 5
      = 33

Hence, the flagpole is 33 feet high.

Answer:

B because they are basically the same AB = 2, there was no change, just a relfection, so A'B' = 2 as well Hope this helped
