Answer:
<em>The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters</em>
Explanation:
<u>Components of the displacement</u>
The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:
The vertical component is calculated by:
The hiker has a displacement with magnitude r = 20.51 m at an angle of 33.16 degrees. Substituting in the above equation:
The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters
