Answer:


5*√(3) =8.660 (m)/(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal component of he velocity is found using the trigonometric definition of "cosine" of an angle in a right angle triangle:


cos(\theta)=(adj)/(hyp) \\cos(30)=(x)/(10) \\10*cos(30)=x\\10* (√(3) )/(2) =x\\x=5*√(3) =8.660 (m)/(s)
