a rifle bullet is fired into the air with a velocity of 700ft per second at an angle of 65 degrees from the horizontal. Find the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity vector.

Question

anonymous · Answer

horizontal is 700cos(65)   vertical is 700sin(65) ft/sec

anonymous · Answer

If you want an explanation in finding the x and y vectors treat the shooting as a Pythagoras triangle
Where A is the angles and C is the angle 65 degrees. If you know cos and sin then it should be pretty easy in finding the x and y vectors

thanks

woops that came out wrong sorry 
treat c as 700 and treat A as the angle 65
