The Pythagorean theorem is the idea that the sum of the two legs which are both squared is equal to the hypotenuse's length squared.
*<em>look at the image I attached for a better explanation</em>
By looking at the picture, we are missing the leg's length, and by using the Pythagorean theorem, we get the equation
Thus the <u>missing side length is 12 cm</u>
Hope that helps!
Answer:
the coefficients of static friction is 0.577
the coefficients of fkinetic friction is 0.54
Step-by-step explanation:
given information
θ = 30°
S = 2.5 m
t = 4 s
- Static friction
F - F(friction) = 0
W sin θ = μs W cos θ
μs = sin θ/ cosθ
= tan θ
= tan 30°
= 0.577
- kinetic friction
S = +
= 0
S =
a = =
= 0.3
F - F(friction) = m a
W sin θ - μ W cos θ = m a
mg sin θ - μk mg cos θ = m a
g sin θ - μk g cos θ = a
μk = g sin θ - a / g cos θ
= 9.8 sin 30° - 0.3 / 9.8 cos 30°
= 0.54
