Draw a velocity diagram. You will see that
tanθ = horizontalspeed/verticalspeed
A descent vehicle landing on the moon has
a vertical velocity toward the surface of the moon of 34.1 m/s. At the same time, it has a horizontal velocity of 51.1 m/s.
At what speed does the vehicle move along
its descent path?
1.Answer in units of m/s.
2.At what angle with the vertical is its path? Answer in units of ◦.
I already answered the first part but I'm having trouble with the 2nd.
