The launching velocity of a missile is 20.0 m/s, and it is shot at 53º above the horizontal. What is the vertical component of the velocity at launch?

Question

ijlal · Answer

$$V _{y}=usin \Theta$$
Where Vy is the vertical component of the velocity and u is the initial velocity and theta is the angle
so, 
$$V _{y}=20\sin(53)$$
$$V _{y}=15.97m/s$$
