Question

A tennis ball is launched at an angle of 30° at a velocity of 40 m/s. What is the vertical component of the velocity right before the ball hits the ground?

Answer 1

20m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Velocity = 40m/s

angle = 30°

Vertical component = Vsin theta

Substitute into the formula

Vy = 40sin30

Vy = 40(0.5)

Vy = 20m/s

Hence the vertical component of the velocity right before the ball hits the ground is 20m/s
