Explanation:
In order to solve these problems, we must decompose the magnitudes of the velocities on the x & y-axes, using the angles that are given. It is important for a better understanding to look at the attached image and understand how the angles are located relative to the horizontal axis.
1.
The horizontal component of the angle can be found with the cosine function. While the vertical component can be found using the sine function of the angle.
Viy = 24*sin (40)
Viy = 15.42 [m/s]
2.
The horizontal component of the angle can be found with the cosine function.
Vix = 24*cos(40)
Vix = 18.38 [m/s]
3.
Vix = 55*cos(25)
Vix = 49.84 [m/s]
