you have to resolve it into it's vertical component
vertical component = velocity * sin(theta) where theta is the angle 41 degrees
make sure your calc is in degree mode
zarkam21:
SO from that It would be D?
Vocaloid:
actually @sillybilly123 may I have some assistance on this one, physics isn't really my thing
sillybilly123:
31 sin 41

Vocaloid:
yeah, that's what I was thinking at first, but it's asking for the acceleration not velocity, how do I proceed from there? (having a brain fart)
zarkam21:
i got 20.3
sillybilly123:
voca
it's - g
Vocaloid:
so is the final answer just -g (B) or do I have to also account for the initial velocity?
sillybilly123:
B

Vocaloid:
ok, then it's just B as your answer zark
zarkam21:
Oh okay. So how did we get that?
zarkam21:
9.8 is the rate is it just that?
Vocaloid:
there's only one force acting in the y-direction (not accounting for air resistance) so the only force causing acceleration in the y direction is from gravity
sillybilly123:
+1
