Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A plane flies at a speed of 200 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. What is the vertical component of its velocity?
  • Step 1: Identify the speed of the plane, which is 200 m/s.
  • Step 2: Identify the angle of the plane's flight, which is 30 degrees.
  • Step 3: Understand that we need to find the vertical component of the velocity.
  • Step 4: Use the formula for the vertical component: v_y = v * sin(θ).
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: v_y = 200 * sin(30 degrees).
  • Step 6: Calculate sin(30 degrees), which is 0.5.
  • Step 7: Multiply: v_y = 200 * 0.5 = 100 m/s.
  • Step 8: Therefore, the vertical component of the velocity is 100 m/s.
  • Vector Decomposition – The process of breaking down a vector into its horizontal and vertical components using trigonometric functions.
  • Trigonometric Functions – Understanding how to apply sine and cosine functions to find components of vectors based on angles.
