A hiker walks 20.51 m at 33.16 degrees. What is the Y component of his displacement?

The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters

Explanation:

Components of the displacement

The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:

The vertical component is calculated by:

The hiker has a displacement with magnitude r = 20.51 m at an angle of 33.16 degrees. Substituting in the above equation:

The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters

answer: electrons

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
