Components of velocity
Try these:
Practice A: A water balloon is launched with a speed of 40 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees to the horizontal. What are the vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components of motion?
Practice B: A motorcycle stunt person traveling 70 mi/hr jumps off a ramp at an angle of 35 degrees to the horizontal. What are the vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components of motion?
Practice C: A springboard diver jumps with a velocity of 10 m/s at an angle of 80 degrees to the horizontal. What are the vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components of motion?
