Answer: About 3.06
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use trigonometry functions to solve for AC. Let the ?, representing AC, be "x" in our mathematical work.
Since we have the hypotenuse and x is adjacent to the angle given, I am going to use cosine.
cos(θ) = 
cos(40) = 
0.766 ≈ 
3.06 ≈ x
x ≈ 3.06

Answer:
216 J
Step-by-step explanation:
The kinetic energy is given by ...
KE = 1/2mv^2
KE = (1/2)(3 kg)(12 m/s)^2 = 216 kg·m²/s² = 216 J
The kinetic energy of the toy is 216 joules.
__
Its potential energy depends on its height.
Answer:
h = -t+20
After 8 hours the candle will be 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 2 points (time, inches)
(3,17) and (5,15)
We can find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (15-17)/(5-3)
= -2/2
= -1
We can use point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Replace y with h and x with t
h-17 = -1 (t-3)
Distribute
h-17 = -t+3
Add 17 to each side
h-17+17 = -t+3+17
h = -t+20
After 8 hours
h = -t+20
h = -8+20
h= 12
