Chapter 3: Q. 19 (page 78)

What are the x- and y-components of the velocity vector shown in FIGURE EX3.19?

Short Answer

Expert verified

x- component =50m/s.

y-component=86.6m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The given figure is,

We need to determine thexandycomponents of the velocity shown in the figure.

02

Step 2. Solution

It is given that θ=30andv=100m/s.

Thus 100×sin30∘.

=50in the xdirection,

and 100×cos30∘.

=86.6in the ydirection.

Hence, the x-component =50m/s.

y-component=86.6m/s.
