vy/z = 3.46 meters/second. Find vx/z.

Answer 1

on plato ;14.48 m/s
your welcome

Answer 2

14.48 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the addition law of vectors, if there are two vectors A and B acting at an angle Ф, then the resultant is given by

`R = \sqrt{A^(2) + B^(2) + 2AB Cos\phi }`

Here the angle between Vx/y and Vy/z is 180 degree, so the resultant is given by

R = Vx/y - Vy/z

R = 17.94 - 3.46

R = 14.48 m/s
