Answer
22.5 m/s
Explanation
We shall use the trigonometric ratio cosine to find the horizontal component.
cos = adjacent/hypotenuse
Adjacent is the horizontal and hypotenuse is the fly speed.
cos 30° = horizontal / 26
horizontal velocity = 26 × cos 30°
= 26 × 0.866
= 22.5166
= 22.5 m/s
Solution
In this Question we have given,
Velocity, V=[tex]26\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
angle,α=30 degrees
We have to find horizontal component of velocity,
[tex]V_{x}=V\times Cos\alpha[/tex]
[tex]V_{x}=26\times Cos\30[/tex]
[tex]V_{x}=26\times 0.866[/tex]
[tex]V_{x}=22.51\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
[tex]V_{x}=23\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
