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:
40 s
Explanation:
After 10 seconds, the first skater would have a 8m/s * 10s = 80 m head start
Let t be the number of seconds after the second skater starts will the second skater overtake the first skater
The distance traveled by the first skater after t seconds is
Similarly the distance traveled by the 2nd skater after t seconds is
Since the 2nd skater catches up to the 1st one after 80 m behind, the distance traveled by the 2nd one must be 80m greater than the distance of the 1st skater
We can substitute
