Chapter 8: Q. 5 (page 516)

True or False In a right triangle, one of the angles is 90°and the sum of the other two angles is90°.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution is true.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information 

One of the angles is 90°and the sum of the other two angles is90°.

02

Step 2. Calculation 

The statement "in a right triangle, one of the angles is 90°and the sum of the other two angles is 90°" is true since the sum of angles of a triangle equals 180°. Here the three angles measure90°+90°=180°.

A state trooper is hidden 30 feet from a highway. One second after a truck passes, the angle θbetween the highway and the line of observation from the patrol car to the truck is measured. See the illustration.

(a) If the angle measures 15°, how fast is the truck traveling? Express the answer in feet per second and in miles per hour.

(b) If the angle measures 20°, how fast is the truck traveling? Express the answer in feet per second and in miles per hour.

(c) If the speed limit is 55 miles per hour and a speeding ticket is issued for speeds of 5 miles per hour or more over the limit, for what angles should the trooper issue a ticket?

an object attached to a coiled spring is pulled down a distance a from its rest position and then released. Assuming that the motion is simple harmonic with period T, write an equation that relates the displacement d of the object from its rest position after t seconds. Also assume that the positive direction of the motion is up:

a=4,T=π2seconds

If θis an acute angle, solve the equationcosθ=22.

The displacement d (in meters) of an object at time t (in seconds) is given d=2cos(2t)

(a) Describe the motion of the object.

(b) What is the maximum displacement from its resting position?

(c) What is the time required for one oscillation?

(d) What is the frequency?
