Answer 1

Answer:

B. |y| = 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

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°

To get the magnitude of the vector's vertical component

Substitute these values into equation(ii) as follows;

|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.
