Question

A hiker walks 16.19 m at 18.99 degrees. What is the Y component of hisdisplacement?

Answer 1

Given:

Distance = 16.9 m

θ = 18.99 degrees.

Let's find the Y component of his displacement.

To find the y-component of his displacement, apply the formula:

`F_y=d\sin \theta`

Hence, to find the y-component of his displacement, substitute values into the formula.

Thus, we have:

`F_y=16.19\sin 18.99`

Solving further:

`F_y=5.27\text{ m}`

Therefore, the Y component of his displacement is 5.27 m

ANSWER:

5.27 m
