Question

A jogger runs 5.0 km on a straight trail at an angle of 60° south of west. What is the southern component of the run rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilometer?

Answer 1

D 4.3 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

4.33 Km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

`\theta\ = \ 60`

`T=5.0\ km`

According to the question the southern component of the run can be written as

`T_(y) \ =T Sin\theta`

`T_(y) \ = 5 *sin60 \ \degree`

`T_(y) \ = 4.33\ km`

and the direction is towards the south.
