Question

A child lets a toy car slide on the handrail of his house. The handrail is 40° inclined with respect to the horizontal. At the end of the handrail, the car has a speed of 4.5 m/s. Calculate the x and y components of the velocity vector at the instant when the car goes off of the handrail.

Accepted Answer

v_x = 3.4 m/s
v_y = -2.9 m/s

Answer

v_x = -3.4 m/s
v_y = 2.9 m/s

Answer

v_x = -2.9 m/s
v_y = 3.4m/s

Answer

v_x = 2.9 m/s
v_y = -3.4 m/s
