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

1 answer:

5 0

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

A sound wave traveling at 343 m/s is emitted by the foghorn of a tugboat. an echo is heard 2.80 s later. how far away is the ref

Nostrana [21]

The echo is heard 2.80 s later, this means this is the time the sound takes to travel to the reflecting object and then back to us. So, during this time, the sound wave has covered the distance L between us and the object twice:
$S=2L$
The speed of the sound wave is: $v=343 m/s$ , and since it is moving by uniform motion, we can find the distance covered by the wave using
$S=vt=(343 m/s)(2.80 s)=960 m$
And we said this corresponds to twice the distance between us and the reflecting object, so:
$L= \frac{S}{2} = \frac{960 m}{2} =480 m$
so, the object is 480 meters away.

What is the average velocity of Runner C for the first 15 seconds? Question 5 options: 1.3 m/s -2.7 m/s -1.3 m/s 2.7 m/s

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Average velocity (v) of an object is equal to its final velocity (v) plus initial velocity (u), divided by two.

v¯¯¯=(v+u)2

Where:

v¯¯¯ = average velocity

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

The average velocity calculator solves for the average velocity using the same method as finding the average of any two numbers. The sum of the initial and final velocity is divided by 2 to find the average. The average velocity calculator uses the formula that shows the average velocity (v) equals the sum of the final velocity (v) and the initial velocity (u), divided by 2.
