A baseball's resultant velocity is 25.79 m/s, at 68.64° from the level ground.
Determine the vertical component of the baseball's velocity.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Vy = 24.01 [m/s]

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]
