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.

Which values of x and y are solutions to the open sentence?       4y ≥ 3x + 2   A. x = 3, y = 0   B. x = 4, y = 3   C. x = 6, y
kobusy [5.1K]
Your answer would be C. x = 6, y = 5
This is because if you plug the numbers in to the inequality, we get:
(4 × 5) ≥ (3 × 6) + 2
20 ≥ 18 + 2
20 ≥ 20
which is correct.

I hope this helps!

Alejandro solved the equation 5(7x^2-2)-8=3. He wrote 5(7x^2-2)=11 as his first step. Which property justifies his first step?
Scorpion4ik [409]
The addition property of equality. It says that if you add the same number to each side of the equation, the two sides of the equation will be equal. In this case, the number 8 was added to each side.

Hope this helps :)

If you know the names of the remaining nine students in the spelling​ bee, what is the probability of randomly selecting an orde
rjkz [21]
The probability of getting the correct order in the spelling bee is 1 chance in 362,880.

This is a permutation problem. Our goals is to find the total number of ways that the 9 students can be ordered.

For the first spot there are 9 choices, then 8 choices, then 7 choices....

We need to evaluate:
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 362,880

Another way to write this is: 9!

Isosceles trapezoid FGHJ has base angles that measure (8x+14) and (14x-15). Find x and the measure of each base angle.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Base angles of Isosceles triangles are equal.

Equation

That means that 8x + 14 = 14x - 15

Solution

8x + 14 = 14x - 15              Add 15 to both sides

8x + 14+15 = 14x               Combine

8x + 29 = 14x                   Subtract 8x from both sides

8x - 8x + 29 = 14x - 8x    Combine

29 = 6x                            Divide by 6

x = 29/6

x = 4 5/6

Answer

x = 4 5/6 or 4.833

8x + 14 = 8 * (4 5/6)   +  14

8x + 14 = 38 2/3 + 14

8x + 14 = 52 2/3 or 52.6666

14x - 15 = 14 *(4 5/6) - 15

14x - 15 = 67 2/3   -15

14x - 15 = 52 2/3 or 52.666
