Answer:
Horizontal component = 9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the horizontal component is given by the cosine projection;
which in our case (using the fact that in each degree of angle one has 60 minutes of angle, and therefore 30 minutes of angles is the same as 0.5 degrees) becomes:
And rounding to the nearest tenth as requested, we have:
Answer:
Mr. Mole is descending by 2.4 meters per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the time in minutes
y ---> the distance in meters
we know that
In this problem the rate of change or slope is the same that the speed
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
take two points from the table
(5,-18) and (8,-25.2)
substitute the values in the formula
---> is negative because is descending
