Question

Find the vertical and horizontal component ?

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

When we redraw the triangle we get a right-angled triangle.

To solve this problem we can use trigonometric function. These are `sin, cos, tan`. For this we only use `sin` and `cos`.

`sin = (O)/(H)`

`cos = A/H`

`O=` opposite
`A=` adjacent
`H=` hypotenuse

`sin 74 = (V_h)/37`

`V_h =37 xx sin74`

`= 35.57` `m` `s^-1`

Horizontal component `= 35.57` `m` `s^-1`

`cos 74 = (V_v)/37`

`V_v = 37 xx cos74`

`= 10.20` `m` `s^-1`

Vertical component `= 10.20` `m` `s^-1`

I hope this helps
