Answer:
The y-component of the ball's velocity is 10 m/s
The second choice 10.0 m/s is correct
Explanation:
Projectile Motion
It's the type of motion that experiences an object that is projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path exclusively under the action of gravity.
Being vo the magnitude of the initial velocity and θ the angle it makes with the horizontal, the components of the initial velocity are calculated as follows:
[tex]v_{ox}=v_o.\cos\theta[/tex]
[tex]v_{oy}=v_o.\sin\theta[/tex]
Since the football is kicked at vo=20 m/s and an angle of θ=30°:
[tex]v_{oy}=20.\sin 30^\circ[/tex]
[tex]v_{oy}=20*0.5=10[/tex]
The y-component of the ball's velocity is 10 m/s
The second choice 10.0 m/s is correct
