The vertical and the horizontal component of the velocity are 216.51 m/s and 125 m/s respectively.

What is velocity ?

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.

To calculate the horizontal component of the projectile we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • Vx = Vcos∅........... Equation 1

Where:

  • Vx = Horizontal velocity of the projectile
  • V = Velocity of the projectile
  • ∅ = Angle of the projectile

From the question,

Given:

  • V = 250 m/s
  • ∅ = 60°

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • Vx = 250(cos60°)
  • Vx = 125 m/s

Similarly, to calculate the vertical velocity, we use the formula below

  • Vy = Vsin∅................. Equation 2

Where:

  • Vy = Vertical component of the velocity.

Also Substitute the values into equation 2

  • Vy = 250(sin60°)
  • Vy = 216.51 m/s

Hence, the vertical and the horizontal component of the velocity are 216.51 m/s and 125 m/s respectively.
