Question

A tiger leaps with an initial velocity of 35.0 km/hr at an angle of 13.0ᶿ with respect to the horizontal. What are the components of the tiger’s velocity?

Answer 1

Answer:

Vx = 35 x cos(13deg)

Vy = 35 x sin(13deg) - gt  

(g is acceleration due to gravity =~9.8 meter/second^2, t is time in second)

Explanation:

The tiger leaps up, then x and y component of its velocity are:

Vx = Vo x cos(alpha)

Vy = Vo x sin(alpha) - gt

(Vo is tiger's initial velocity, alpha is angle between its leaping direction and horizontal plane)

Hope this helps!
