Answer:

In a right triangle, you always want to use the right angle as a reference. Sin is opposite side over hypotenuse, and cos is adjacent side over hypotenuse. An easy way to remember is SOHCAHTOA (Sin Opposite Hypotenuse, Cos Adjacent Hypotenuse, Tan Opposite Adjacent), The acronym I use to remember this is "Some old hippy caught another hippy tripping on acid."

Answer:this is all i can give you

Explanation:

1.The sine of the angle = the length of the opposite side. the length of the hypotenuse.

2.The cosine of the angle = the length of the adjacent side. the length of the hypotenuse.

3.The tangent of the angle = the length of the opposite side. the length of the adjacent side.

Why doesn't the principle of mechanical energy conservation hold in situations when frictional forces are present?

vodomira [7]

When you are talking about the Principle of mechanical Energy Conservation, it is really only including the kinetic and potential energy in a total system. When frictional forces are present, although the conservation of energy law is still present, it does not work when it comes to the conservation of mechanical energy as there is another type of energy that is factored in. As friction acts on the object, that transition from potential to kinetic as it slide/falls will be completely different as some of that energy is being transformed into thermal energy. Which breaks the conservation of mechanical energy.
