Question

Select the correct answer. The velocity of a train relative to the ground is represented by the distance from A to B in the diagram. The velocity of a ball thrown inside the train at an angle of 66° relative to the train is represented by the distance from B to C. What is the distance from A to C (the velocity of the ball relative to the ground), correct to two decimal places? Assume that all the points in the diagram lie in the same plane. A. 21.14 m/s B. 18.03 m/s C. 17.20 m/s D. 15.00 m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we use cosine formula

2×15×10×cos(180-66)=15²+10²-AC²

-300 cos 66=225+100-AC²

AC²=325+300 cos 66

$AC=\sqrt{325+300 cos 66} \approx 21.14 ~m/s$
