The vertical component of velocity is
zero.
zero.
The initial velocity of the ball is given as 32 m/s at an angle of 25º. Let’s call the vertical component Vv and the horizontal component Vh.
To find Vv, we can use the formula: Vv = V * sin(θ)
Where:
- Vv is the vertical component of velocity
- V is the initial velocity
- θ is the angle of the velocity vector
Plugging in the values, we get:
Vv = 32 m/s * sin(25º)
So, the vertical component of the initial velocity is:
Vv = 32 m/s * 0.4226
Vv ≈ 13.5216 m/s
Therefore, at the very top of the ball's path, its vertical velocity is approximately 13.52 m/s.
