if cos(theta)/sin(theta)=10.11, what is theta considering theta is a constant, just spent 2 hours on a collisions question and am stuck on the last hurdle, thanks for looking
The equation "Cos Theta/Sin Theta=10.11" is a trigonometric equation that represents the ratio of the cosine and sine of an angle, which is equal to 10.11.
To solve for Theta, you can use the inverse trigonometric functions on both sides of the equation. In this case, you would use the arctangent function to find the value of Theta.
Cos Theta and Sin Theta are both trigonometric functions that are used to calculate the ratio of sides in a right triangle. Cos Theta represents the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, while Sin Theta represents the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
Yes, the value of Theta can be negative in this equation. This means that the angle is in the second or third quadrant of the coordinate plane.
Yes, there are restrictions on the values of Theta in this equation. Theta cannot be equal to 90 degrees or any multiple of 90 degrees, as the denominator Sin Theta would be equal to 0, making the equation undefined.
