Lexy throws a dart with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 60° relative to the ground. what is the approximate vertical component of the initial velocity?

An initial velocity is:

v o = 25 m/s

The vertical component of the initial velocity:

v o y = v o * sin 60° =

= v o * √3 / 2 = 25 m/s * √3 / 2 = 21.65 m/s

Answer:

The approximate vertical component of the initial velocity is 21.65 m/s.
