Answer :
Answer: 10 m/s W
Explanation:
v = 20 m/s
θ = 60°
the x component will be the cos of this angle
Vx = cosθ20
Vx = cos(60°)20
Vx = 0.5(20)
Vx = 10 m/s W
The x-component of this velocity will be = 10 m/s west
What are x and y components of a vector ?
The x-component of a vector is the product of the magnitude with the cosine of the angle made by the vector with horizontal and the y-component is the product of its magnitude with the sine of the angle made by the vector with horizontal .
given
angle with horizontal (theta ) = 60 degrees
velocity = 20 m/s
x component = ?
V x ( velocity in x direction ) = V cos (theta)
= 20 cos 60°
= 10 m/s west
The x-component of this velocity will be = 10 m/s west
