Question

A gun can fire a bullet at 540 m/s. If the gun is aimed at an angle of 55o above the horizontal and fired, what will be the horizontal and vertical components of the gun's velocity?

Answer 1

At the moment of firing,

 

v_x = v₀cosθ = 540 cos55° m/s = ? m/s

 

v_y = v₀sinθ = 540 sin55° m/s = ? m/s
