Answer to Question #227853 in Physics for Abdinaser

Question

Show that the vertical component of the velocity at the start is 12.5m/s

Answer 1

Imagine we have an object thrown at 16.32 m/s 50° above the horizontal. Then the vertical component of velocity will be

$$v_y=v\sin50°=16.32\sin50°=12.5\text{ m/s}.$$
