During the execution of a play, a football player carries the ball for a distance of 33 m in the direction 58° north of east. To determine the number of meters gained on the play, find the northward component of the ball's displacement.

Respuesta :

Answer:28 m

Explanation:

Given

Direction is [tex]58^{\circ}[/tex] North of east i.e. [tex]58 ^{\circ}[/tex] with x axis

Also ball moved by 33 m

therefore its east component is 33cos58=17.48 m

Northward component [tex]=33sin58=27.98 m\approx 28 m[/tex]
