A rope, attached to a weight, goes up through a pulley at the ceiling and back down to a worker. The worker holds the rope at th

e same height as the connection point between the rope and weight. The distance from the connection point to the ceiling is 40 ft. Suppose the worker stands directly next to the weight (i.e., a total rope length of 80 ft) and begins to walk away at a constant rate of 2 ft/s. How fast is the weight rising when the worker has walked: 10 feet? Answer = 30 feet? Answer =

Answer:0.246 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation: As the worker starts moving and stops 10 feet away from the side rope connected to the load, it creates a right triangle, as illustrated in the image.

V = s/t... equation 1

S = distance the worker travels while pulling the rope = 10 ft

V = worker's velocity = 2 ft/s

T = time it takes for the worker to cover 10 ft = the same time the load takes to rise = 5 seconds

Using Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from the pulley to the new position of the worker

Square root of (40^2 + 10^2) = 41.23 ft

Distance covered by load = D = 41.23 - 40

= 1.23 ft

Load speed = D/t...equation 2

Substituting D and t into equation 2 gives us

Load speed = 1.23/5 = 0.246 ft/s

Zina [12379]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph can take on three forms as displayed in the figure.

(a) having no intersections

(b) having a single point of intersection (tangency)

(c) having two points of intersection.

Consequently, the maximum number of intersections that these graphs can yield is 2, as illustrated in figure (c).

Which of the following functions is graphed below?
Leona [12618]

We have a piecewise function consisting of a parabolic graph and a linear graph.

When the parabolic graph of y=x^2 is elevated by 6 units, the new equation becomes

y=x^2+6.

Given that the parabola aligns with this requirement, its equation can be expressed as

y=x^2+6

The parabola extends to x=3, where there is an open circle at this point. Thus, we need to use a less than sign.

Next, the line's equation is determined as y=-x+6

Since there is a solid dot, we must employ the greater than or equal to sign.

Consequently, the piecewise function's equation is derived as

y=\left\{\begin{matrix}
x^2=6, x

C is the right choice.

You and your friends Jose and Sarah all live on the same street. You know that Jose lives five blocks from away from you. Jose s
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

Please refer to the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sarah, Jose, and you all reside on the same street:

The distance between you and Jose is 5 blocks

The distance between Jose and Sarah is 2 blocks

Calculating the distance (b) between you and Sarah:

Since it is not specified if Sarah is closer to you or to Jose;

Thus;

Distance b from you to Sarah will be:

(The distance to Jose ± the distance to Sarah)

b = (5 ± 2)

b = (5 + 2) or (5 - 2)

b = 7 blocks or 3 blocks

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! 180x=2(30÷3)+17-5•11+2÷1 = ?
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

x = -4/45

Step-by-step breakdown:

180x=2(30÷3)+17-5•11+2÷1

We first need to simplify the right side.  The initial step involves the parentheses

180x=2(10)+17-5•11+2÷1

Next, we multiply and divide, proceeding from left to right after the equals sign.

180x=20+17-5•11+2÷1

180x=20+17-55+2÷1

180x=20+17-55+2

Next, we add and subtract, moving from left to right in relation to the equals sign.

180x=37-55+2

180x =-18+2

180x = -16

Then divide each side by 180

180x/180 = -16/180

x = -4/45
