When solving this problem, how do you know that you should multiply sin32.4 by -4580 to get the x component. Shouldn't it be multiplied by the hypotenuse instead?

I have a few questions about Chapter 4, Problem 42P fromPhysics(4th).

Question: A passenger on a ferris wheel drops his keys whenheis on the way up and at the ten o clock position. where do thekeysland relative to the base of the ride? The ferris wheel hasaradius of 5. The wheel completes one revolution every 32s andthewheel is 1.75 above the ground.

I don't understand why acceleration due to gravity isn'ttakeninto account when the velocity of the y-component iscalculated inin step 5 (0.84m/s). Shouldn't it to be 0.84m/s -1/2(g)t^2?

A clock has an hour hand that is 9.0 ft long and a minutehavethat is 14 ft long, where the distance is measured from thecenterof the clock to the tip of each hand. What is thetip-to-tipdistance between these two hands when the clock reads 12minutesafter 4 o'clock?

I am confused on what equations I need for this, I assumethatthe 9 and 14 ft represent 2 sides of a triangle but I do notknowhow to figure the hypotenuse when the given time is askedfor. Ialso dont know how to do it because I feel as thoughthere should bean angle given in order to find the solution.

During a seventh-inning stretch of a baseball game,groundkeepers drag mats across the infield dirt to smooth it. Agroudskeeper is pulling a mat as a constant velocity by applying aforce of 120 N at at angle of 22 degrees above the horizontal. thecoefficient of kinetic friction between the mat and the ground is.60 Find the magnitude of the frictional force between the dirt andthe mat, and the weight and the mat.

Here I tried to find teh weight of the mat by adding all thex-components, which I had as Applied Force-FrictionalForce-x-component of MG+ the x-component of the Normal force.

I tried to find the Normal force by setting the x-components tozero and solving for N which gave me mg cos 22. to which Imultiplied the coefficient of kinetic friction. I tried to add allthe x-components together and solve for m and then multiply it by gto get the weight. I am obviously doing something wrong. Could youplease help me to solve this problem for weight and magnitude goingstep by step? I am studying for a test.

Thanks!
