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
