Answer:

Vy = 24.01 [m/s]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must understand that velocity is a vector and therefore has magnitude and direction, in this way we can decompose the velocity in the components x & y, by means of the trigonometric functions of the sine and cosine of the angle.

For the vertical component, the sine of the angle is used.

Vy = 25.79*sin(68.64)

Vy = 24.01 [m/s]
