You work at a pioneer historical site. On this site you have handcarts. One cart has a handle that connects to the center of the

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a) see below

b) radius = 16.4 in (1 d.p.)

c) 18°. Yes contents will remain. No, handle will not rest on the ground.

d) Yes contents would spill. Max height of handle = 32.8 in (1 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part a</u>

A chord is a <u>line segment</u> with endpoints on the <u>circumference</u> of the circle.

The diameter is a <u>chord</u> that passes through the center of a circle.

Therefore, the spokes passing through the center of the wheel are congruent chords.

The spokes on the wheel represent the radii of the circle. Spokes on a wheel are usually evenly spaced, therefore the congruent central angles are the angles formed when two spokes meet at the center of the wheel.

<u>Part b</u>

The <u>tangent</u> of a circle is always <u>perpendicular</u> to the <u>radius</u>.

The tangent to the wheel touches the wheel at point B on the diagram. The radius is at a right angle to this tangent. Therefore, we can model this as a right triangle and use the <u>tan trigonometric ratio</u> to calculate the radius of the wheel (see attached diagram 1).

$\sf \tan(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{A}$

where:

$\theta$ is the angle
O is the side opposite the angle
A is the side adjacent the angle

Given:

$\theta$ = 20°
O = radius (r)
A = 45 in

Substituting the given values into the tan trig ratio:

$\implies \sf \tan(20^{\circ})=\dfrac{r}{45}$

$\implies \sf r=45\tan(20^{\circ})$

$\implies \sf r=16.37866054...$

Therefore, the radius is 16.4 in (1 d.p.).

<u>Part c</u>

The measure of an angle formed by a secant and a tangent from a point outside the circle is <u>half the difference</u> of the measures of the <u>intercepted arcs</u>.

If the measure of the arc AB was changed to 72°, then the other intercepted arc would be 180° - 72° = 108° (since AC is the diameter).

$\implies \sf new\: angle=\dfrac{108^{\circ}-72^{\circ}}{2}=18^{\circ}$

As the handle of the cart needs to be no more than 20° with the ground for the contents not to spill out, the contents will remain in the handcart at an angle of 18°.

The handle will not rest of the ground (see attached diagram 2).

<u>Part d</u>

This can be modeled as a right triangle (see diagram 3), with:

height = (48 - r) in
hypotenuse ≈ 48 in

Use the sin trig ratio to find the angle the handle makes with the horizontal:

$\implies \sf \sin (\theta)=\dfrac{O}{H}$

$\implies \sf \sin (\theta)=\dfrac{48-r}{48}$

$\implies \sf \sin (\theta)=\dfrac{48-45\tan(20^{\circ})}{48}$

$\implies \theta = 41.2^{\circ}\:\sf(1\:d.p.)$

As 41.2° > 20° the contents will spill out the back.

To find the <u>maximum height</u> of the handle from the ground before the contents start spilling out, find the <u>height from center of the wheel</u> (setting the angle to its maximum of 20°):

$\implies \sin(20^{\circ})=\dfrac{h}{48}$

$\implies h=48\sin(20^{\circ})$

Then add it to the radius:

$\implies \sf max\:height=48\sin(20^{\circ})+45\tan(20^{\circ})=32.8\:in\:(1\:d.p.)$

(see diagram 4)

<u>Circle Theorem vocabulary</u>

<u>Secant</u>: a straight line that intersects a circle at two points.

<u>Arc</u>: the curve between two points on the circumference of a circle

<u>Intercepted arc</u>: the curve between the two points where two chords or line segments (that meet at one point on the other side of the circle) intercept the circumference of a circle.

<u>Tangent</u>: a straight line that touches a circle at only one point.

Question 8 Find the unit vector in the direction of (2,-3). Write your answer in component form. Do not approximate any numbers

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The unit vector in component form is $\hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \right)$ or $\hat{u} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i-\frac{3}{13}\,j$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $\vec u = (2,-3)$ , its unit vector is determined by following expression:

$\hat {u} = \frac{\vec u}{\|\vec u \|}$

Where $\|\vec u \|$ is the norm of $\vec u$ , which is found by Pythagorean Theorem:

$\|\vec u\|=\sqrt{2^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$\|\vec u\| = \sqrt{13}$

Then, the unit vector is:

$\hat{u} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{13}} \cdot (2,-3)$

$\hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \right)$

The unit vector in component form is $\hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \right)$ or $\hat{u} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i-\frac{3}{13}\,j$ .

Write the point-slope equation oft line that goes through (1, -1) with slope of -5.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

y+1=-5(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the slope intercept form first. So far we have this: y=-5x+b. We could plug in the x value and y value to get this : -1=-5(1)+b. b=4. Now we have the slope intecept form: y=-5x+4, and we could turn it into point slope form.
