Question

A ball is projected at an angle of 53. If the initial velocity is the 48 meters/seconds, what is the vertical component of the velocity with which it was launched?

Answer 1

Answer: B 38 meters/second

Explanation: Got it right on plato

Answer 2

28.89 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

A vector quantity can be resolved into two components.

1. Horizontal component

2. Vertical component

Let there is a vector R which makes an angle theta from X axis.

Its component along X axis is given by R Cos theta and the component along Y axis is given by R Sin theta.

SI, the vertical component of velocity is

Vx = 48 × Cos 53

Vx = 28.89 m/s
