Vector trigonometry can be used for this problem. Since the horizontal component is 12 meters per second, this is technically the hypotenuse (actual initial velocity) multiplied to cosine of 40 degrees. Therefore, to find the hypotenuse, we must divide 12 by cosine 40degrees. cos(40)= 0.766, and 12/0.766 = approximately 15.664, therefore our answer is (3) 15.7 m/s

Imagine you have a triangle at angle 40.
initial velocity= m/sec
12 is the horizontal component, so it is the cosine side, so you must find cosine(40) for the angle.
then you have to divide 12/cos(40) to get 15.7 m/s as your initial velocity

sammy [17]

Answer:

Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When a hot and a cold body are in thermal contact, they exchange heat energy until they reach thermal equilibrium, with the hot body cooling down and the cold body warming up. This is a natural phenomenon we experience all the time.

Paraphin [41]

Given :

You drive 200 miles in 3 hours before stopping for lunch and gas. After lunch you travel 250 miles in an hour and a half.

To Find :

Average speed.

Solution :

We know, average speed is given by :

$v=\dfrac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}\\\\v=\dfrac{200+250}{3+1.5}\ miles/hr\\\\v=\dfrac{450}{4.5}\ miles/hr\\\\v=100\ miles/hr$
