Answer:

The second leg of the triangle is 35.62

Explanation:

Given that

Hypotenuse = 37

A leg = 10

Based on the above information

The second leg of the triangle is

According to the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where,

a and b = legs

And, the c = hypotenuse.

Now put these values to the above formula

So,

10^2 + b^2 = 37^2

b^2 = 37^2 - 10^2

b^2 = 1269

b = sqrt(1269)

b = 35 .62

Hence, the second leg of the triangle is 35.62

The other leg is 35 mm.

4. A group of students made a rocket and launched it vertically upwards with velocity
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Approximately 72.9\; \rm m, assuming that the rocket had no propulsion onboard, and that air resistance on the rocket is negligible.

Explanation:

Initial velocity of this rocket: u = 27\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}.

When the rocket is at its maximum height, the velocity of the rocket would be equal to 0. That is: v = 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.  

The acceleration of the rocket (because of gravity) is constantly downwards, with a value of a = -g = -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

Let x denote the distance that the rocket travelled from the launch site to the place where it attained maximum height. The following equation would relate x \! to u, v, and a:

\displaystyle x = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2\, a}.

Apply this equation to find the value of x:

\begin{aligned} x &= \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2\, a} \\ &= \frac{\left(0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2} - \left(27\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2}}{2 \times 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} = 36.45\; \rm m\end{aligned}.

In other words, the maximum height that this rocket attained would be 36.45\; \rm m.

Again, assume that the air resistance on this rocket is negligible. The rocket would return to the ground along the same path, and would cover a total distance of 2\times 36.45\; \rm m = 72.9\; \rm m.
