Solution Summary

This solution looks at the angle between a force acting on a particle, using a specified velocity and force. The exact degrees in angle is determined by using the power of the rate of change in work formula, as well as a cosine identity.

Solution Preview

Work is defined as: dW = F*ds, where ds is the displacement segment (an infinitesimal part of the path).
The power is the rate of change in the work, thus: P = dW/dt = d/dt*F*ds

Since the ...
