Let the starting position be A, and the ending position of the glide be B.

The triangle ABC shown in the figure, is a right triangle with side lengths 16m and 0.8 m.

The angle of the squirrel's path below the horizon is BAC.

Using right triangle trigonometry:

tan(ABC)=(opposite side)/(adjacent side)=0.8/16=0.05

to find m(ABC) we calculate arctan(0.05) which is 2.86°


Answer: 2.86°

A squirrel in a long glide typically covers a horizontal distance of 16 m while losing 8.0 m in altitude. The angle of the squirrel's path below the horizontal is 26.6 degrees

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Flying squirrels are a tribe of 50 species of squirrels in the family Sciuridae. They are not capable of flight in the same way as birds or bats but are able to glide Flying squirrels really don't fly. They glide! Flying squirrels have flaps of skin between their arms and chest, and between their legs. When they leap into the air, they extend their arms and legs, and use these flaps of skin to create drag, like jumping with a parachute. Two types of Flying squirrel live in the forests of North America: the northern flying squirrel and the southern flying squirrel. Northern flying squirrels live throughout Canada and in southeast Alaska.

Given:

  • The horizontal distance x = 16 m
  • Elevation h = 8 m

The angle of the squirrel's path below the horizontal = ?

\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{h}{x}  =tan^{-1} \frac{8.0}{16} = 26.6°

The weight of meteorite A is 5 times the weight of meteorite B. If the sum of their weights is 126 tons, find the weight of each
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 126 by 5, you get Meteorite B, 25.2, then minus that from 132, and you get Meteorite A, 106.8

To check, do 25.2 x 5 and you should get 132.

I need help with this problem,
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

  JL = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

The shorter segment is a midline, so is half the length of the longer one.

  2(5x-16) = 4x +34

  5x -16 = 2x +17 . . . . . divide by 2

  3x = 33 . . . . . . . . . . add 16-2x

  x = 11 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Then segment JL is ...

  JL = 4x +34 = 4(11) +34 = 44+34

  JL = 78
