Basic Trigonometry Using trig functions for determining angles and distances
Soh Cah Toa • Sin=opposite/hypotenuse Sin q C=b/a • Cos= adjacent/hypotenuse Cos q C=c/a • Tan=opposite/adjacent Tan q C=b/c a b q c
Kinematics on a ramp lab • Galileo determiend that on a ramp • Acelleration= gravity sin(q) Hypotenuse opposite q
Determine the angle of q using sin q=opposite/Hypotenuse Use the acceleration of the object at 1 meter for the calculation
