How do I find the cosine of theta.

Physics

The value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.

<h3>What is cosine of an angle?</h3>

The cosine of an angle is defined as the sine of the complementary angle.

The complementary angle equals the given angle subtracted from a right angle, 90.

cos θ = sin(90 - θ)

For example, if the angle is 30°, then its complement is 60°

cos 30 = sin(90 - 30)

cos 30 = sin 60

0.866 = 0.866

<h3>Cosine of an angle with respect to sides of a right triangle</h3>

cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse side

adjacent side of the given right triangle is calculated as follows;

adj² = 10² - 2²

adj² = 100 - 4

adj² = 96

adj = √96

adj = 9.8

cos θ = 9.8/10

cos θ = 0.98

Thus, the value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.

A cyclist is moving at a speed of 15 m/s. If the combined mass of the bike and person is 100 kg,
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is equal to mass times velocity in kg and m/s, respectively. Therefore,

p = 100(15) so

p = 1500 \frac{kg*m}{s}

A girl dribbling a basketball is running a court that is 100 m in length. It takes her 4.2 seconds to reach the end of the court
Travka [436]

Divide the distance traveled by the time it took:

(100 m) / (4.2 s) ≈ 23.8 m/s

Planet a and planet b are in circular orbits around a distant star. planet a is 7.8 times farther from the star than is planet
gogolik [260]
To find the ratio of planetary speeds Va/Vb we need the orbital velocity formula: 

V=√({G*M}/R), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the distant star and R is the distance of the planet from the star it is orbiting. 

So Va/Vb=[√( {G*M}/Ra) ] / [√( {G*M}/Rb) ], in our case Ra = 7.8*Rb 

Va/Vb=[ √( {G*M}/{7.8*Rb} ) ]  / [√( {G*M}/Rb )], we put everything under one square root by the rule: (√a) / (√b) = √(a/b) 

Va/Vb=√ [ { (G*M)/(7.8*Rb) } / { (G*M)/(Rb) } ], when we cancel out G, M and Rb we get:

Va/Vb=√(1/7.8)/(1/1)=√(1/7.8)=0.358 so the ratio of Va/Vb = 0.358.

The formation of the solar system in order from start to finish

<h2><u>FORMAT</u><u>ION</u></h2>

\\

Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The cloud collapsed, possibly due to the shockwave of a nearby exploding star, called a supernova. When this dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula—a spinning, swirling disk of material
