The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides.
<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>
<span>now plug in </span>
<span>x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s </span>
Answer: 29.17m/s^2
Explanation:
Given the following :
Velocity = 525 m/s
Time = 18 seconds
Acceleration = change in Velocity with time
Using the motion equation:
v = u + at
Where v = final Velocity
u = Initial Velocity and t = time
Plugging our values
525 = 0 + a × 18
525 = 18(a)
a = 525 / 18
a = 29.166666
a = 29.17 m/s^2
