QUESTION:
Find the components of \(v_{t o t}\) along the \(x\) -and \(y\) -axes in Figure 3.57.
Step 1 of 3
From Figure 3.57, the magnitude of the \({V_{tot}}\) is 6.72 m/s, and the angle made with the x-axis is,
\(\theta = 22.5^\circ + 26.5^\circ \)
\(\theta = 49^\circ \)
Now, we resolve the total velocity \({V_{tot}}\) into x and y components as,
\({V_{tot,x}} = {V_{tot}}\cos \theta \)
\({V_{tot,y}} = {V_{tot}}\sin \theta\)
