Question

Calculate the east component of a resultant 32.5 m/s, 35.0° east of north.

Answer 1

East component is: 18.64 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

If the resultant is 32.5 m/s directed 35 degrees east of north, then we use the sin(35) projection to find the east component of the velocity:

East component = 32.5 m/s * sin(35) = 18.64 m/s
