Answer:
The answer to your question is: 209 m
Explanation:
Data
length = 253 m
d = 55.8°
y - component = ?
Formula
To solve this problem we need to use a right triangle a the trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, etc)
Now we have to choose among the trigonometric functions which one to use that relates the opposite side and the hypotenuse.
And that one is sineФ = os/h
we clear os = sineФ x h
os = sine 55.8 x253
os = 209 m

Answer:
The answer to your question is: total energy = 30100.4 J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy due to the movement of and object, its units are joules (J)
Data
mass = 1280 kg
speed = 4.92 m/s
Force = 509 N
distance = 28.7 m
Formula
Work = Fd
Process
- Calculate Kinetic energy
- Calculate work
- Add both results
KE =
KE = 15492.1 J
Work = (509)(28.7)
Work = 14608.3 J
Total = 15492.1 + 14608.3
Total energy = 30100.4 J
