Question

a truck drives up a hill with a 15 incline. if the truck has a constant speed of 22m/s, what are the horizontal and vertical components of the trucks velocity

Answer 1

Answer:

speed of truck (v) =  22 m/s ,

angle of hill (Θ) =15°

Find

Vertical component (Fv) = ?

Harizontal component (Fh) =?

               Vertical component (Fh) = V cosΘ

                                                        = 22. cos 15

                                                        = 21.25 m/s.

               Harizontal component (Fv) = V sinΘ

                                                            = 22. sin 15

                                                            = 5.69 m/s.
