    Answer: 24.24 m

    Explanation:

    A player throws football 50.0 m at 61° North of west. we will write this in terms of horizontal and vertical components.

    Horizontal component: 50 cos 61° = 24.24 m which is westwards

    Vertical component: 50 sin 61° = 43.73 m which towards North.

    Refer to diagram below.

    Thus, the westward component of displacement of the football is the horizontal component of the displacement = 24.24 m.
