Answer:

The distance between the Earth and the Moon is equal to the distance between the Sun and the Moon multiplied by the sine of angle x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

EM -----> the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

y -----> the distance between the Sun and the Moon.

we know that

In the right triangle of the figure

The sine of angle x is equal to divide the opposite side to angle x (distance between the Earth and the Moon.) by the hypotenuse ( distance between the Sun and the Moon)

so

sin(x)=EM/y

Solve for EM

EM=(y)sin(x)

therefore

The distance between the Earth and the Moon is equal to the distance between the Sun and the Moon multiplied by the sine of angle x

Write an equation for the simple harmonic motion of a ball on a spring that starts at its lowest point of 6 inches below equilib
olasank [31]
So a general harmonic equation is Asin(2πt/T). Little t is just a variable. 6 inches is the height of one maximum and one minimum from equilibrium, so that is the amplitude A. T is the period, or the time of one cycle (or wavelength), which is 2 seconds.

The equation is therefore (in terms of seconds and inches), 6*sin(2πt/2), or 6*sin(πt).

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (−2, 1) and (1, 10)?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

3x - y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = deltay/deltax

m = (10 - 1)/[( 1 - (-2)]

m = 9/3 = 3

y = 3x + b

From (-2 | 1) we see that when x = -2, y = 1

Placing into the equation, in order to find b (y-intercept)

y = 3x + b

1 = 3(-2) + b

b = 7

y = 3x + 7 or 3x - y = -7
