The velocity of an object in meters per second varies directly with time in seconds since the object was dropped, as represented

by the table. The acceleration due to gravity is the constant of variation. What is the acceleration due to gravity of a falling object?

To aid in sea navigation, Little Gull Island Lighthouse shines a light from a height of 91 feet above sea level with an unknown

algol13

Answer:

$\approx 6^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Little Gull Island Lighthouse shines a light from a height of 91 feet above the sea level.

The angle of depression is unknown.

Distance of the point at sea surface from the base of lighthouse is 865 ft.

This situation can be modeled or can be represented as the figure attached in the answer area.

The situation can be represented by a right angled $\triangle ABC$ in which we are given the base and the height of the triangle.

And we have to find the value of $\angle BAD \ or \ \angle C$ (Because they are the internal vertically opposite angles).

Using tangent ratio:

$tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

$tanC = \dfrac{AC}{BC}\\\Rightarrow tanC = \dfrac{91}{865}\\\Rightarrow tanC = 0.105\\\Rightarrow \angle C \approx 6^\circ$

Therefore, the angle of depression is: $\approx 6^\circ$

Two forces, F1 and F2, are represented by vectors with initial points that are at the origin. The first force has a magnitude of

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two force F1 and F2 are represented by vectors with initial points that are at the origin.

the terminal point of the vector is point P(1, 1, 0)

Therefore, the direction of the vector force is

$v_1=(1-0)\hat i+(1-0)\hat j +(0-0)\hat k\\\\=1\hat i+1\hat j+0\hat k\\\\=\hat i + \hat j$

The unit vector in the direction of force will be

$\frac{v_1}{|v_1|} =\frac{\hat i+ \hat j}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2+0^2} } \\\\=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} (\hat i +\hat j)}$

The magnitude of the force is 40lb, so the force will be

$F_1=40\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } (\hat i+\hat j)\\\\=20\sqrt{2} (\hat i+\hat j)$

The terminal point of its vector is point Q(0, 1, 1)

Therefore, the direction of the vector force is

$v_2=(0-0)\hat i+(1-0)\hat j +(1-0)\hat k\\\\=0\hat i+1\hat j+1\hat k\\\\=\hat j + \hat k$

$\frac{v_2}{|v_2|} =\frac{\hat j+ \hat k}{\sqrt{0^2+1^2+1^2} } \\\\=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} (\hat j +\hat k)}$

The magnitude of the force is 60lb, so the force will be

$F_2=60\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } (\hat j+\hat k)\\\\=30\sqrt{2} (\hat j+\hat k)$

The resultant of the two forces is

$F=F_1+F_2\\\\=[20\sqrt{2} (\hat i+\hat j)]+[30\sqrt{2} (\hat j +\hat k)]\\\\=20\sqrt{2} \hat i+20\sqrt{2} \hat j +30\sqrt{2} \hat j+30\sqrt{2} \hat k\\\\=20\sqrt{2} \hat i+50\sqrt{2} \hat j+30\sqrt{2} \hat k$

The magnitude force will be

$|F|=\sqrt{(20\sqrt{2} )^2+(50\sqrt{2} )^2+(30\sqrt{2} )^2} \\\\=\sqrt{800+5000+1800} \\\\=\sqrt{3100} \\\\=55.68$

to (1 decimal place)=55.7lb

b) The direction angle of force F

The angle formed by F and x axis

$\alpha=\cos^{-1}(\frac{20\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{3100} } )\\\\=\cos^{-1}(0.5080)\\\\=59.469$

The angle formed by F and y axis

$\alpha=\cos^{-1}(\frac{50\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{3100} } )\\\\=\cos^{-1}(1.270)\\\\=$

The angle formed by F and z axis

$\alpha=\cos^{-1}(\frac{30\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{3100} } )\\\\=\cos^{-1}(0.7620)\\\\=40.359$

kvasek [131]

Answer:

(a) 0.932

(b) 0.0653

(c) 0.032

(d) 0.316

(e) 0.251

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table with mean parameter μ = 5, we can compute the following cumulative and density probability

(a) $P(X \leq 8) = 0.932$ (cumulative)

(b) P(X = 8) = 0.0653 (density)

(c) $P(9 \leq X) = 1 - P(X \leq 9) = 1 - 0.968 = 0.032$ (cumulative)

(d) $P(5 \leq X \leq 8) = P(X \leq 8) - P(X \leq 5) = 0.932 - 0.616 = 0.316$ (cumulative)

(e) $P(5 < X < 8) = P(X \leq 8) - P(X \leq 5) - P(X = 8) = 0.932 - 0.616 - 0.0653 = 0.251$

Use complete sentences to describe the range of the sine function.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The Range of a function is the set of all values that that function can take.

Given the sine function f(x)=sinx,

This function is the function which calculates the sine of the values of x.

According to the definition of the sine of an angle x in the unit circle,

$-1 \leq sinx \leq 1$ ,

so the sine of an angle is always larger or equal to -1, and smaller or equal to 1.

This means that the values that the sine function takes are any values between -1 and 1, inclusive.

This determines the Range of the sine function.

So the Range of the sine function is [-1, 1]
