Byron throws a football at a 30 degree angle from the ground with a speed of 26 m/s. What are the horizontal and vertical components of his throw?
How do I find the horizontal and vertical components for this problem?

Hint: Form a right triangle with 26 as the the length of the hypotenuse and 30 as one of the angles. From there just use your trigonometry formulas.

Vertical: 26cos30 = 22.5 m/s
Horizontal: 26sin30 = 13 m/s
If you're having trouble with these problems, you might want to get out of physics.

Vv = Vsin30
Vh = Vcos30
