<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)

Question 4 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)<br> (01.02 MC)<br> Solve for :<br> 2 x -<br> (x - 2) = 4x
oee [108]

Answer:

\small \sf \frac{2}{3}   = x \\

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x;

2x - ( x - 2 ) = 4x

distribute minus sign through parantheses

  • 2x - x + 2 = 4x

combine like terms

  • x + 2 = 4x

subtract x from both side

  • x - x + 2 = 4x - x
  • 2 = 3 x

Divide each side by 3

\small \sf \frac{2}{3}  =  \frac{3x}{3} \\

\small \sf \frac{2}{3}  = x\: \\

Help! I cant solve this
KatRina [158]
In one month, there are on average 30 days.

So if he talks 135 minutes per month, he talks on average 135/30 minutes per day

135/30 = 4.5

So on average he talks to his grandfather for 4 minutes and 30 seconds a day.

measurement of angle EFH is equal to 7 x + 2 and measurement of angle EHG is equal to 12x + 30 what is X?
WINSTONCH [101]
The altitude of the triangle intercepts perpendicularly
meaning that the angle EHG equals to 90 degrees
so....
12x + 30 = 90
subtract 30 from both sides
12x = 60
divide both sides by 12
x = 5

Hope this helps

What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 3.8in, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch
Pavel [41]

Answer: 114.9\ in.^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The radius of the hemisphere is r=3.8\ in.

The volume of a hemisphere is given by

V=\dfrac{2}{3}\pi r^3

Insert the value

V=\dfrac{2}{3}\pi \times (3.8)^3\\\\V=114.9\ in.^3

If f(x)= (3x+7)^2, then f(1) = ?
Crank
To find f(1), substitute 1 for x.

f(1) = (3(1)+7)²
f(1) = (3+7)²
f(1) = 10²
f(1) = 100
