Question

A golfer tees off and hits a golf ball at a speed of 31 m/s and at an angle of 35 degrees. What is the vertical velocity component of the ball

Answer 1

Hello,

We have the vectorial formula

V = Vxi + Vyj

Where,

Vx = v.Cos(x)

And

vy = v.Sen(x)

We know too:

x = 35°

And

v = 31 m/s

Then we will have:

Vy = v.Sen(x)j

Vy = 31.Sen(35)j

Vy = (17,78 m/s) j
