A student kicks a soccer ball upward at a 30º angle with an initial speed of 20 m∕s. What expression should the student use to calculate the magnitude of the ball’s initial velocity in the horizontal direction?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle x=10\sqrt{3}\ m/s[/tex]

[tex]y=10\ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

Rectangular coordinates of vectors in 2D

Given a vector with a magnitude v and angle θ with respect to the positive horizontal direction, the x and y components of the vector are given by:

[tex]x=v\cos\theta[/tex]

[tex]y=v\sin\theta[/tex]

The soccer ball is kicked upward at an angle θ = 30° and at a speed v=20 m/s.

The rectangular components of the vector are:

[tex]x=20\cos 30^\circ[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=20\cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]\mathbf{\displaystyle x=10\sqrt{3}\ m/s}[/tex]

[tex]y=20\sin 30^\circ[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle y=20\cdot \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]\mathbf{y=10\ m/s}[/tex]
