To find the vertical and horizontal velocity components of the bullet, we can use trigonometry.
Given: Initial velocity of the bullet, v = 925 m/s Launch angle, θ = 5.00 degrees
The vertical velocity component (Vy) is the component of the initial velocity that acts in the upward or downward direction. It can be calculated using the formula:
Vy = v * sin(θ)
The horizontal velocity component (Vx) is the component of the initial velocity that acts in the horizontal direction. It can be calculated using the formula:
Vx = v * cos(θ)
Let's calculate these components:
Vy = 925 m/s * sin(5.00°) ≈ 80.24 m/s Vx = 925 m/s * cos(5.00°) ≈ 920.53 m/s
Therefore, the bullet's vertical velocity component is approximately 80.24 m/s, and the horizontal velocity component is approximately 920.53 m/s.
