East component: 3.9 m/s
South component: 1.8 m/s
Explanation:
We have to resolve the velocity vector along the east and south axis.
Taking east as positive x-direction and south as positive y-direction, the components of the velocity are given by:
[tex]v_x = v cos \theta\\v_y = v sin \theta[/tex]
where
v = 4.3 m/s is the magnitude of the velocity
[tex]\theta=25^{\circ}[/tex] is the angle between the direction of the velocity and of the x-axis
Substituting into the equations, we find:
East component:
[tex]v_x = (4.3)(cos 25^{\circ})=3.9 m/s[/tex]
South component:
[tex]v_y = (4.3)(sin 25^{\circ})=1.8 m/s[/tex]
