Asoccer player kicks a ball from the ground with a speed of 16 m/s at an angle of 63°.

a. what is the horizontal component of the velocity?
b. what is the vertical component of the velocity?

A. Horizontal component: 7.3 m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal component of the velocity is given by:

where

is the magnitude of the initial velocity

is the angle of the initial velocity with respect to the ground

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

B. Vertical component: 14.3 m/s

Explanation:

The vertical component of the velocity is given by:

where

is the magnitude of the initial velocity

is the angle of the initial velocity with respect to the ground

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

answer; how far out of place which the object finished relative to the starting location;
