Question

A projectile is fired with a velocity of 22 m/s at an angle of 25°. What is the vertical component of the velocity?

Answer 1

9.3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Just got it right :)

Answer 2

Vertical component of velocity is 9.29 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of projection of a projectile, v = 22 m/s

It is fired at an angle of 22°

The horizontal component of velocity is v cosθ

The vertical component of velocity is v sinθ

So, vertical component is given by :

`v_y=v\ sin(25)`

`v_y=22\ m/s*\ sin(25)`

`v_y=9.29\ m/s`

Hence, the vertical component of the velocity is 9.29 m/s
