Question

A kickoff sends a football with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 50

Answer 1

Answer:

The x-component of the velocity is 16.07 m/s

The y-component of the velocity is 19.15 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the football, u = 25 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 50⁰

The x-component of the velocity (horizontal component) is given as;

$V_x = Vcos(50^0)\\\\V_x = 25 \ m/s \ \ \times \ \ 0.6428\\\\V_x = 16.07 \ m/s$

The y-component of the velocity (vertical component) is given as;

$V_y = Vsin(50^0)\\\\V_y = 25 \ m/s \ \ \times \ \ 0.766\\\\V_y = 19.15 \ m/s$
