In right ΔPQR, sin P = 3 over 5 , and cos P = 4 over 5. What is tan P?

Dvinal [7]

Not sure if you learned S=O/H,C= A/H, T=O/A, but Sin is equal to opposite over hypotenuse, so draw a triangle, and label those angles (opposite= 3 and hypotenuse=5). Also, Cos is equal to adjacent over hypotenuse, so label those as well (you already have hypotenuse from Sin, and the Adjacent angle = 4). Therefore, Tan which equals opposite over adjacent is 3/4

Which statement best reflects the approach of Gestalt psychology?

GarryVolchara [31]

Gestalt psychology is a a theory of mind of the Berlin School of experimental psychology. It tries to understand the laws of our ability to acquire and maintain meaningful perceptions in an apparently chaotic world. It proposes that the whole of an object or scene is more important than its individual parts.

In creating his definition of horsepower, James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, calculated the power output of a horse o

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 182.3 Lb$

Part b)

$P = 0.55 HP$

Explanation:

Diameter of the circle = 24 ft

Diameter = 731.52 cm = 7.3152 m

now the horse complete 144 trips in one hour

so time to complete one trip is given as

$t = \frac{3600}{144} s$

$t = 25 s$

now the speed of the horse is given as

$v = \frac{2\pi r}{t}$

$v = \frac{\pi(7.3152)}{25}$

$v = 0.92 m/s$

Part a)

Now we know that the power is defined as rate of work done

it is given as

$P = F v$

$746 = F(0.92)$

$F = 810.9 N$

$F = 182.3 Lb$

Part b)

Work done to climb up to 3 m height is given by

$W = mgh$

now we have

$Power = \frac{Work}{time}$

$P = \frac{mgh}{t}$

$P = \frac{(70kg)(9.81)(3)}{5.0s}$

$P = 412.02 Watt$

now we know that 1 HP = 746 Watt

so we have

$P = \frac{412}{746} = 0.55 HP$

Provide the following information for each of the three types of radiations from naturally radioactive materials. Be sure to inc

scoundrel [369]

Alpha radiation: Particles. Each alpha particle is a little bundle of 2 protons and 2 neutrons ... identical to the nucleus of a Helium atom.

Charge . . . +2 elementary charges

Mass . . . 4 Atomic Mass Units

Relative penetrating power . . . low

The effect an electric field would have on it . . . Since the alpha particle has a positive charge, it's repelled by other positive charges, and attracted toward negative charges.

Beta radiation: Particles. Each beta particle is an electron.

Charge . . . -1 elementary charge

Mass . . . 0.00055 AMU

Relative penetrating power . . . medium

The effect an electric field would have on it . . . repelled by other negative charges, and attracted toward positive charges.

Gamma radiation: electromagnetic wave, verrrrry short wave, high frequency

Charge . . . electromagnetic wave, no charge

Mass . . . electromagnetic wave, no mass

Relative penetrating power . . . high

The effect an electric field would have on it . . . electromagnetic wave, no effect
