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.
