Question

A body is projected with a velocity of 30 m/s making an angle of 300° with The horizontal.Find its horizontal component.

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of the horizontal component is 25.9 m/s

Explanation:

v = 30 m/s

angle (ø) = 30°

For horizontal component,

v' = v cos ø

→ v' = 30 × cos 30°

→ v' = 30 × √3/2

→ v' = 15 × √3

→ v' = 15 × 1.73

→ v' = 25.9 (approx.) m/s
