The x component of a velocity vector that has an angle of 37° (to the +x) has a magnitude of 4.8 m/s. What is the magnitude of the velocity? What is the y component of the velocity?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Magnitude of velocity V = 6.015 m/sec

Y component of velocity = 3.61 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given magnitude of velocity in x direction, that is horizontal component [tex]V_X=3.8m/sec[/tex]

Angle with x axis = 37°

We know that horizontal component [tex]V_X=Vcos\Theta[/tex]

So [tex]4.8=Vcos37^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]V=6.015m/sec[/tex]

Y component of velocity is given by [tex]V_Y=Vsin\Theta =6.015sin37^{\circ}=3.61m/sec[/tex]
