The length of the paintball machine could vary. If it is a square; then it would be 44.25 in. If it was a rectangle the answer Could be many different lengths, but one is 65 in (Width 23.5 in) I hope this helped ^^
The acceleration of the particle is given by the formula mentioned below:
Differentiate the position vector with respect to t.
Differentiate both sides of the obtained equation with respect to t.
Substitute t=2 in the above equation to obtain the acceleration of the particle at 2 seconds.
The initial position is obtained at t=0. Substitute t=0 in the given position function.
There are two -main- approaches to answer this problem. By using the sine identity, or applying law of sines.
We'll do the sine trig. identity, as it is the most effective.
Given an angle '
' in a right triangle, '
' is defined as the opposite side of the triangle to the given angle, over the triangle's hypotenuse.
So, for this setup:
Now, we solve for x:
So, answer is 3.4
