Your procedure is perfect, you're fine, however, bear in mind that, in a calculator when plugging in values for some functions, specially trigonometric ones, if you tell it cos(40), and the calculator is in Radian mode, it thinks you meant cosine of 40 radian units, if you give it cos(40) and it's in Degree mode, it thinks you meant 40°, and 40 radians is hugely different than 40°.
so, make sure your calculator is in Degree mode, as you'd have guessed, it isn't.
What is the question exactly?
Answer:
The answer is y = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, we need to turn it into an equation. Then we can follow the order of operations to solve.
y - 12 = 8
y = 20
Answer:
1.7 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

where
v is the initial velocity (in feet per second)
s represents the initial height (in feet)
In this problem we have
---> because the object is dropped

substitute

Remember that
When the chestnut hit the ground the value of H is equal to zero
so
For H=0

solve for t

therefore
The solution is t=1.7 sec
I think it’s d because that’s where the z would come from with the AEC right angle.
