Answer:28inches & 84inches

First, lets write an equation that fits the data given. The string is 112 inches long. When the two pieces are cut, the first piece will be three times as long as the second piece. If we use the variable, x, to represent the second piece, we can create the following equation...

112=3x+x

Now lets solve for x.

112=4x
divide both sides by 4
28 inches=x

Now we know that the second piece is 28inches long. Since the first piece is three times as long, simply multiply 28*3 and we'll know the length of the first piece.

28*3=84 inches
28+84=112

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For example, if you collide two objects together, all of the forces in the system would cancel out because energy conserved with the opposite and equal reactions.

Between two examples (2 identical billiard balls and 2 different toy cars), the easiest way to demonstrate Newton's third law is using the 2 balls, since they are identical in shape and mass. When pushing the two balls in the exact same way with the SAME force, the net force of the equation is basically 0;

F_f = F_1 + F_2 = ma - ma = 0

Therefore, A is correct.

If you pushed a toy car and a toy truck towards each other using the same force, the outcome would not be completely opposite since F = ma and masses are different. Instead, to have a completely opposite and equal reaction, the resulting direction and forces are different. The lighter car would accelerate more in the opposite direction to compensate for the lighter mass. Therefore, B is wrong because even though they are different sizes, newton's third law still happens in the resulting direction and forces, but are simply harder to explain due to so many differing factors.

C is wrong, because diameter of two objects has no correlation to the net force equations. Even if two objects have the same diameter, they could have different masses, shapes, elasticity, etc.

D is wrong, because it goes against Newton's 3rd law. Newton's 3rd law is a LAW. Meaning, it is ALWAYS true (unless in some distant future it's disproven). In any and every collision, energy is conserved in some way that net forces equal 0; either in friction, gravitational force, or resulting force, the net force is always 0.

Find m\angle Bm∠Bm, angle, B.
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The answer is that the measure of ∠α is ≈ 20° when rounded to the nearest °

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measure of ∠α you need to use the reciprocal of the formula for the law of sine which says that a/Sinα = b/Sinβ = c/Sin C. The reciprocal of this gives the new equation that states Sinα/a = Sinβ/b = Sin C/c, and this will help you to find the measure of the missing angle in °'s.

In the triangle line segment BC = 5units is opposite to point A & ∠α. Line segment AC = 7units  is opposite of point and ∠β which is = 28°. And finally, the hypotenuse length and the values of point C & ∠C are unknown, so they aren't important to solving the problem. Knowing all this you can plug in all the known values into the new formula, and start working on figuring things out.

To find the measure ∠α, you first write down everything, putting things into their proper places, so since you're solving for sinα you want the equation to look like this:

sinα/5 = sin28°/7

Then for the second step, you want to isolate the sinα. (To get it by itself × both left and righthand sides by 5 to begin simplifying).

This leaves you with :

sinα = sin28°÷7 · (5)    [And allows you to now solve for the right side of the equation, bringing us to our third step which is to once again simplify. So what you want to do is whip out your calculator and set it to degree mode, so you can find the of sin28° which is = 0.46947156278. Then ÷ that by 7, which will get you a number = 0.06706736611. Finally, take 0.06706736611 × 5,  and you will get the value = 0.33533683056, as your final answer in the third step]

Your equation should now look something like this :

sinα = 0.06706736611 × 5 or 0.33533683056

Moving onto the fourth step, you need to use the inverse of the trig function of sin to get your absolute value. (remember the inverse of sine or acrsin = sin^-1) Here you will need to multiply sin^-1 by 0.33533683056.

And also by now, you'll want to stop writing the equation as sinα = sin^-1 ×

0.33533683056, otherwise you won't get an answer, instead, you'll need to write:

α = sin^-1 × 0.33533683056

So once you do that for the fifth and final step, you'll need to simplify the equation on the righthand side one last time, and you should get the answer of α = 19.5930217327°. Which when rounded to the nearest ° is ≈ 20°.
