A billiard ball is struck by a cue. It travels 100 cm before ricocheting off a rail and traveling another 100 cm into a corner p

ocket. The angle between the path as the ball approaches the rail and the path after it strikes the rail is 45 degrees. How far is the corner pocket from where the cue initially struck the ball?

Answer:

76.53 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the triangle formed has 2 sides and an included angle ;

Angle, θ = C = 45°

We use cosine rule :

Taking the side to find as c

a = 100 ; b = 100

From cosine rule :

c = sqrt(a² + b² - 2abCosC)

c = sqrt(100² + 100² - 2(100*100)Cos45

c = sqrt(10000 + 10000 - 20000 * 0.7071067)

c = sqrt(20000 - 14142.135)

c = sqrt(5857.865)

c = 76.536690

c = 76.53 cm

A tourist first walked 17km with a speed of v km/h. Then he hiked 12 km uphill with the speed that was 2 km/hour less than his o
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer: t=\frac{17}{v}+\frac{12}{v-2}


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A tourist first walked 17km with a speed of v km/h.

Since Speed=\frac{distance}{time}

therefore, Time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Let t_1 be the time he walked with speed v.

then t_1=\frac{17}{v}

Also he hiked 12 km uphill with the speed that was 2 km/hour less than his original speed.

Let t_2 be the time he hiked 12 km,

Then t_2=\frac{12}{v-2}

The total time for the whole trip is given by:-

t=t_1+t_2=

Substitute the values of t_1 and t_2 in the equation, we get

t=\frac{17}{v}+\frac{12}{v-2}
