Question

Find the horizontal and vertical components of the 102-m displacement of a superhero who flies from the top of a tall building following the path shown in the figure below. (Assume 0- 28.0° and indicate the direction with the sign of your answer) horizontal displacement vertical displacement

Answer 1

total displacement = 102 m

displacement in the horizontal direction = A cos $\theta$

= 102 cos 28 = 90.06 m

displacement in the vertical direction = -A sin $\theta$

= -102 sin 28 = -47.88 m
