A soccer player kicks the ball with a velocity of 10 m/s at an angle of 80 degreees to the horizontal. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of his kick.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Horizontal component of velocity =1.7364m/s

Vertical component of velocity =9.848m/s

Explanation:

As the ball is a 2D projectile,it has two components.

Concept of components of a vector:

1)All the possible independent components of a vector sum up to give the vector.

2)If the magnitude of a vector is v,then its component in the direction at an angle of Θ from the vector is equal to - vcos(Θ).

Now as the ball is having 2D motion,it has two independent components one along the horizontal,one along the vertical.

Given angle of velocity with horizontal [tex]\alpha[/tex]=[tex]80[/tex]°

Therefore angle of velocity with vertical [tex]\beta = 90[/tex]°[tex]-80[/tex]°

[tex]\beta =10[/tex]°

Therefore,

Component of Velocity along horizontal = [tex]vcos(\alpha )[/tex]

[tex]v_{x}=10\times[/tex]cos(80°)

[tex]1.7364m/s[/tex]

Component of velocity along vertical = [tex]vsin(\beta )[/tex]

[tex]v_{y}=10\times[/tex]cos(10°)

[tex]v_{y}= 9.848m/s[/tex]

Therefore

Horizontal component of velocity of ball[tex]v_{x}[/tex] =1.7364m/s

Vertical component of velocity of ball[tex]v_{y}[/tex] =9.848m/s
