Answer:

The y component of her velocity is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that North and South represent the positive and negative y component of the velocity vector.

And East and West represent the positive and negative x component of the velocity vector.

For a girl walking east at 2.7 m/s

The x component of velocity is;

vx = 2.7 m/s (east is positive x axis)

The y component of velocity is;

vy = 0 m/s (no movement in the northern and southern direction)

Therefore, The y component of her velocity is zero (0m/s)
