If the velocity of a long jumper during take-offat an angle of 30 degrees is 42 f/s, how fast is he moving forward (Vx) and how

fast is he moving upward (Vy)? The answers should be in international units (m/s). 1 foot = 0.3048 m

Answer:

Vx=  11.0865(m/s)

Vy=  6.4008(m/s)

Explanation:

Taking into account that 1m is equal to 0.3048 ft, the takeoff speed in m / s will be:

V= 42(ft/s) × 0.3048(m/ft) = 12.8016(m/s)

The take-off angle is equal to 30 °, taking into account the Pythagorean theorem the velocity on the X axis will be:

Vx= 12.8016 (m/s) × cos(30°)= 11.0865(m/s)

And for the same theorem the speed on the Y axis will be:

Vy= 12.8016 (m/s) × sen(30°)= 6.4008(m/s)
