Answer:
The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.
Explanation:
Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.
Notice that the vector v and its x and y-components (vx and vy) form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to find the magnitude of vx, the horizontal component of the velocity.
To find vx, let´s use the following trigonometric rule of right triangles:
cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos 5.7° = vx / 22 m/s
22 m/s · cos 5.7° = vx
vx = 21.9 m/s
The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.
As per the question, the distance travelled by bobsled [s] = 100 m
The time taken by the bobsled to travel that distance [t] = 25 s
We are asked to calculate the speed of the bobsled.
The speed of the bobsled is calculated as -
Hence, the correct answer to the question is A. 4 m/s.
