In triangle ABC, the measure of ∠B is 90°, BC=16, and AC=20. Triangle DEF is similar to triangle ABC, where vertices D, E, and F

correspond to vertices A, B, and C, respectively, and each side of triangle DEF is 1/3 the length of the corresponding side of triangle ABC. What is the value of sinF?

Answer:

sinF =  3 /5  or 0.6.

Explanation:

Triangle ABC is a right triangle with its right angle at B. Therefore, AC is the hypotenuse of right triangle ABC, and AB and BC are the legs of right triangle ABC. According to the Pythagorean theorem,

AB=√202−162=√400−256=√144=12

Since triangle DEF is similar to triangle ABC, with vertex F corresponding to vertex C, the measure of angle∠F equals the measure of angle∠C. Therefore, sinF=sinC. From the side lengths of triangle ABC,

sinF =  oppositeside /hypotenuse  =  AB /AC  =  12/ 20  =  3 /5

A 5 n force is applied to a 3 kg ball to change its velocity from +9 m/s to +3 m/s. the time for the collision is _____ seconds.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

The time for the collision is 3.6S.

<h3>What is collision?</h3>

The collision is an encounter between particles resulting in exchange or transformation of energy.

According to the question,

Force,

F = 5 N

Mass,

m = 3 kg

Velocity,

v₁ = 9 m/s and v₂ = 3 m/s

As we know,

F=m*(v/t)

so,

5=3*(9-3/t)

T=3*6/5

T=18/5

hence, the time for the collision is

T= 3.6S.
