Answer to Question #250780 in Physics for john

Question

a multicab as a velocity of 18 point 52 km per hour going 30 ° west of north what are its horizontal and vertical components

Answer 1

Calculate the horizontal (westward) component:

$$v_W=v\sin\theta=18.52·\sin30°=9.26\text{ km/h}.$$

The vertical (northward) component:

$$v_N=v\cos\theta=18.52·\cos30°=16.04\text{ km/h}.$$
