A ball is thrown with an initial velocity of v feet per seco

A ball is thrown with an initial velocity of v feet per second, at an angle of with the horizontal (see figure). Find the vertical and horizontal components of the velocity. (Let v = 65 and = 40°

Solution

horizontal component =vcos

horizontal component =65cos40^o

horizontal component =49.79 ft/s

vertical component =vsin

vertical component =65sin40^o

vertical component =41.78 ft/s
