Question

If the resultant velocity is 10 m/s inclined at 30 degree to thehorizontal, then the vertical component of the velocity is

Answer 1

ANSWER:

5 m/s

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The vertical component would be the y component, which is given by the following formula:

$v_y=v\cdot\sin \theta$

replacing:

$\begin{gathered} v_y=10\cdot\sin 30 \\ v_y=10\cdot0.5 \\ v_y=5\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

The vertical component of velocity is 5 m/s
