Answer:
[tex]v_x = -6\ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
initial velocity
magnitude of velocity, v = 12 m/s
angle made of velocity with negative x-axis,θ = 60°
We need to calculate x- component of v
[tex]v_x = v cos \theta[/tex]
velocity is in negative x-direction, v = -12 m/s
now,
[tex]v_x = -12\times cos 60^0[/tex]
[tex]v_x = -12\times 0.5[/tex]
[tex]v_x = -6\ m/s[/tex]
Hence, the velocity x-component is equal to -6 m/s.
