How do I find the cosine of theta.

Physics
1 answer:
NNADVOKAT [17]1 year ago
5 0

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 stone is dropped from the top of 50 m high tower simultaneously another stone is thrown upward with a speed of 20 m/s . calcul
Darina [25.2K]
'H' = height at any time
'T' = time after both actions
'G' = acceleration of gravity
'S' = speed at the beginning of time
Let's call 'up' the positive direction.
Let's assume that the tossed stone is tossed from the ground, not from the tower.

For the stone dropped from the 50m tower:

H = +50 - (1/2) G T²

For the stone tossed upward from the ground:

H = +20T - (1/2) G T²

When the stones' paths cross, their <em>H</em>eights are equal.

50 - (1/2) G T² = 20T - (1/2) G T²

Wow !  Look at that !  Add (1/2) G T² to each side of that equation,
and all we have left is:

50 = 20T  Isn't that incredible ? ! ?

Divide each side by 20 :

<u>2.5 = T</u>

The stones meet in the air 2.5 seconds after the drop/toss.

I want to see something: 
What is their height, and what is the tossed stone doing, when they meet ?

Their height is  +50 - (1/2) G T² = 19.375 meters

The speed of the tossed stone is  +20 - (1/2) G T = +7.75 m/s ... still moving up.
I wanted to see whether the tossed stone had reached the peak of the toss,
and was falling when the dropped stone overtook it.  The answer is no ... the
dropped stone was still moving up at 7.75 m/s when it met the dropped one.

True or false as heat and pressure decreases one type of metamorphic rock will transform into another type
dezoksy [38]

Answer: True

Explanation:  Metamorphism is the changing of rocks by heat and pressure. During this process, rocks change either physically and/or chemically. They change so much that they become an entirely new rock. Figure 4.22: The platy layers in this large outcrop of metamorphic rock show the effects of pressure on rocks during metamorphism.

How can hand tools help every technician for their safety in doing hard servicing activities​
Anni [7]

Answer: Hand tools are necessary for daily activities.

Explanation:

The hand tools are useful for day to day activities they aid in pouring substances, holding things, mixing substances, cleaning and for other purposes. In a chemical laboratory the hand tools like test tube holders can help in holding the chemicals. In a medical laboratory the forceps can be useful in holding and cutting the sections without causing any harm to the hands. Hand tools avoid the direct contact with the microorganisms in medical laboratory thus protect against infections. Hand tools aid in surgical operations and they help in avoiding direct contact with the blood vessels and organs preventing contamination and infections.

A battery produces ________current, which is current that flows in only one direction.
Anna71 [15]

The correct answer to the question is direct current i.e a battery produces direct current which is the current that flows in only one direction.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the types of current. There are generally two types of current which are known as direct current and alternating current.

Direct current:

A direct current is the current which moves in one direction only. It may be a steady current or a pulsating direct current.

A steady current is a time independent current i.e its magnitude is constant with time. It is also known as a stationary current. For instance, the current flowing through a battery.

A pulsating dc current is a type of dc current in which the magnitude of the current changes with time, but moves in one direction. For instance, the current produced in a junction diode rectifier.

Alternating current: Alternating current is the type of fluctuating current whose magnitude changes continuously and direction changes periodically.

In the given question, the current produced in a  battery is flowing in one direction only.

Hence, the correct answer to the question will be direct current.
