The cosine of the angle in a right triangle is (adjacent side) divided by (hypotenuse).

As luck would have it, the picture doesn't give us the length of the adjacent side, so we have to calculate THAT before we can calculate the cosine.

You can easily find the length of the adjacent side ... call Pythagoras in. The adjacent side is the square root of (10-squared minus 2-squared).

When you have that, the cosine of the angle is just (that) divided by 10.

A compact car has a mass of 1310 kg . Assume that the car has one spring on each wheel, that the springs are identical, and that
Nady [450]

Answer:

a) k= 3232.30 N / m,  b)  f = 4,410 Hz

Explanation:

In this exercise, the car + spring system is oscillating in the form of a simple harmonic motion, as the four springs are in parallel, the force is the sum of the 4 Hocke forces.

The expression for the angular velocity is

          w = √k/m

the angular velocity is related to the period

          w = 2π / T

we substitute

          T = 2\pi  √m/ k

a) empty car

           k = 4π² m / T²

           k = 4 π² 1310/2 2

           k = 12929.18 N / m

This is the equivalent constant of the short springs

           F1 + F2 + F3 + F4 = k_eq x

           k x + kx + kx + kx = k_eq x

           k_eq = 4 k

           k = k_eq / 4

           k = 12 929.18 / 4

            k= 3232.30 N / m

b) the frequency of oscillation when carrying four passengers.

In this case the plus is the mass of the vehicle plus the masses of the passengers

            m_total = 1360 + 4 70

            m_total = 1640 kg

angular velocity and frequency are related

              w = 2pi f

we substitute

             2 pi f = Ra K / m

in this case the spring constant changes us

             k_eq = 12929.18 N / m

           

             f = 1 / 2π √ 12929.18 / 1640

             f = π / 2 2.80778

             f = 4,410 Hz

How does she explain the activity of uranium when amounts of this element are changed? how does she describe the activity of ura
kifflom [539]

Answer:

What to include in the answer:

Results from edg 2022

Explanation:

Did you include this in your answer?

Chemical compounds are active in direct proportion to the amount of uranium in them.

Activity is not destroyed by physical changes of state or chemical transformations.

Radioactivity is an atomic property of matter.

Whenever you push an object across a frictional surface, it starts out taking a lot of force to push to get the object moving. H
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Here's an example. A child is in school taking a test. They have made a mistake on a question, and want to erase it. The eraser is made out of a type of rubber, the rubber has friction, which means the eraser has something that's going to resist movement. Now the child has exerted enough force to get it moving, and it's moving, it won't stop unless the child stops exerting force to keep it moving. Both Newton's 1st and 3rd law explain the action of moving something on a surface with friction.

Which law of motion accounts for the following statement? "A planet stays in orbit around the Sun." first law second law third l
Amanda [17]
It is definitely the first law, the first law is the law of inertia. It states that an object remains in its state of rest or uniform motion on a straight line except compelled by an external force. The planet remains in its position because there is no external force acting on it which will make it move. Hope i helped. have a nice day<span />

Usa test prep- Look at the picture below to answer. If u answer correctly i will mark you as brainliest!
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The greatest concentration of atomic mass is in the nucleus because it is made up of protons and neutrons. The electrons surrounding the nucleus don't have as much mass as protons or neutrons.

Hopefully this helps...
