Having a hard time solving last part

[mikenash]

You throw a ball toward a wall at speed 24.0 m/s and at angle θ0 = 43.0° above the horizontal (Fig. 4-35). The wall is distance d = 16.0 m from the release point of the ball. (a) How far above the release point does the ball hit the wall? What are the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of its velocity as it hits the wall?


(a)Number 10.7 Units m correct
(b)Number 17.5 Units m/s correct ---- cos(43)* 24
(c)Number Units m/s -- can not get --- attempt-- sin(43) *24

What is your vertical velocity component when it strikes the wall? Remember at the time it strikes the wall it has been slowed by gravity and will no longer be the Initial vertical component. When you figure that, you can add the component vectors to arrive at the result.

= 17.5

It seems that you have correctly calculated the horizontal component of the ball's velocity as it hits the wall. To find the vertical component, you can use the same trigonometric function, but this time with the sine instead of the cosine. So, the vertical component would be sin(43)*24 = 17.5 m/s.

To verify your answer, you can also use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the magnitude of the ball's velocity as it hits the wall. The magnitude would be the square root of (17.5^2 + 17.5^2) = 24.8 m/s, which is consistent with the initial velocity of 24 m/s.

I hope this helps you understand how to solve this problem. Keep in mind that when an object is launched at an angle, its velocity can be broken down into horizontal and vertical components using trigonometric functions. Good luck!
