Question

select the correct answer. a sled travels 15 meters down a slope inclined at 30° with the horizontal. what is the horizontal displacement of the sled? a. 7.5 meters b. 13.0 meters c. 5.5 meters d. 2.4 meters

Explanation:

Step1: Identify hypotenuse and angle

Hypotenuse = 15 m, angle = 30°

Step2: Calculate horizontal displacement

Horizontal displacement = 15 cos(30°) ≈ 15 0.866 ≈ 13.0 m

Answer:

B. 13.0 meters
