Answer:
The answer to your question is: 209 m
Explanation:
Data
length = 253 m
d = 55.8°
y - component = ?
Formula
To solve this problem we need to use a right triangle a the trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, etc)
Now we have to choose among the trigonometric functions which one to use that relates the opposite side and the hypotenuse.
And that one is sineФ = os/h
we clear os = sineФ x h
os = sine 55.8 x253
os = 209 m

The linear speed of the ladybug is 4.1 m/s
Explanation:
First of all, we need to find the angular speed of the lady bug. This is given by:
where
T is the period of revolution
The period of revolution is the time taken by the ladybug to complete one revolution: in this case, since it does 1 revolution every second, the period is 1 second:
T = 1 s
Therefore, the angular speed is
Now we can find the linear speed of the ladybug, which is given by
where:
is the angular speed
r = 65.0 cm = 0.65 m is the distance of the ladybug from the axis of rotation
Substituting, we find
