Question

Physics students roll a can of soup from the top of a 3 m long ramp down to the ground. The ramp has an angle of 20° from the ground. Find the x-component and y-component for the displacement vector of the can at the bottom of the ramp with respect to the starting position at the top of the ramp.

Answer 1

X = 3*Cos20.
Y = 3*sin20.
