<h2>Answer:</h2>
B. |y| = 1.6
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>A sketch of the vector is attached to this response.
As shown, the vector lies on the second quadrant and its horizontal and vertical components are given by x and y respectively.
Where;
|x| = v cos θ -----------------(i)
|y| = v sin θ -----------------(ii)
and
v = magnitude of the vector = 2.5km/hr
θ = angle that the vector makes with the +x axis = 90° + 50° = 140°
<em>To get the magnitude of the vector's vertical component</em>
<em>Substitute these values into equation(ii) as follows;</em>
|y| = 2.5 sin 140°
|y| = 2.5 x 0.6428
|y| = 1.607
|y| ≅ 1.6 km/hr
Therefore, the vertical component of the vector has a magnitude of 1.6 km/hr.
