Answer:

Vx = 35.31 [km/h]

Vy = 18.77 [km/h]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must decompose the velocity component by means of the angle of 28° using the cosine function of the angle.

$v_{x} = 40*cos(28)\\V_{x} = 35.31 [km/h]$

In order to find the vertical component, we must use the sine function of the angle.

$V_{y}=40*sin(28)\\V_{y} = 18.77 [km/h]$
