Answer:

[tex]4.82ms^{-1}[/tex]

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity, u=5.20m/s

[tex]\theta=22^{\circ}[/tex]

We have to find the horizontal component of the initial velocity.

We know that

Horizontal component of velocity=[tex]ucos\theta[/tex]

Using the formula

Horizontal component of the initial velocity=[tex]5.2cos22^{\circ}[/tex]

Horizontal component of the initial velocity=[tex]5.2\times 0.9272[/tex]

Horizontal component of the initial velocity=[tex]4.82ms^{-1}[/tex]

Hence, the horizontal component of the initial velocity=[tex]4.82ms^{-1}[/tex]
