<h3>Answer:  approximately 1560.1 foot-pounds</h3>

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. The angle theta is the angle of elevation formed between the horizontal line and the diagonal force being applied (the pulling force). Let x be the horizontal component pulling force, which is the horizontal portion of the right triangle. We know the hypotenuse of this triangle is 55 pounds as it is the force applied.

Use the cosine ratio to help solve for x. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(19) = x/55

x/55 = cos(19)

x = 55*cos(19)

x = 52.0035216579624 which is approximate

Roughly 52.0035216579624 pounds of force is being applied in a pure horizontal direction. The cart moves 30 feet, so,

work = (force)*(displacement)

work = (52.0035216579624)*(30)

work = 1560.10564973888

work = 1560.1 foot-pounds

A foot-pound is a unit of work, similar to how a joule is as well (though a joule measures in kilograms and meters)

If the basketball player scored 15 baskets out of 21 tries. How many tries would it take to score 20 baskets?
Evgen [1.6K]
28 tries. The ratio is 5:7, so once you multiply 5 by 4 to get 20, you do the same to 7 to get 28.

Judy uses 9.7 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls.3/5
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

3.88 Pints

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the amount of blue paint that was used. We can do that by multiplying 9.7 by 0.60 since that is 3/5 in decimal form

9.7*0.60=5.82

Now we know how much blue paint was used, now we just need to find how much white paint was used. We can do that by subtracting our amount of blue paint from the total amount of paint used

9.7-5.82=3.88

thus, 3.88 is the amount of white paint used
