Question

Find the components of vtot along the x and y axes in Figure 3.25, where = 23.0° and vtot = 7.56 m/s.

Answer 1

The component of the total velocity in the x - direction is 6.96 m/s.

The component of the total velocity in the y - direction is 2.95 m/s.

Component of the velocity in x direction

The component of the total velocity in the x - direction is calculated as follows;

v(x) = vtot cosθ

where;

• vtot is total velocity
• v(x) is velocity in x direction

v(x) = 7.56 x cos(23)

v(x) = 6.96 m/s

Component of the velocity in y - direction

v(y) = vtot sinθ

v(y) = 7.56 x sin(23)

v(y) = 2.95 m/s
