Question

A player is positioned 35 m[40 degrees W of S] of the net. He shoot the puck 25 m [E] to a teammate. What second displacement does the puck have to travel in order to make it to the net?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=22.57 m

Explanation:

Given that

35 m in W of S

angle = 40 degrees

25 m in east

From the diagram

The angle

$\theta=90-40=50^o$

From the triangle OAB

$cos40^o=\frac{35^2+25^2-x^2}{2\times 35\times 25}$

$1340.57=35^2+25^2-x^2$

x=22.57 m

Therefore the answer of the above problem will be 22.57 m
