Homework Statement
When the Sun is directly overhead, a hawk dives toward the ground at a speed of 4.24 m/s
If the direction of his motion is at an angle of 61.7 below the horizontal, calculate the speed of his shadow along the ground
Answer in units of m/s
Homework Equations
A_x = A cos[itex]\theta[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I will want to find the x component of the velocity vector.
4.24 Cos (-61.7) = 2.01013
I put this answer into my homework program (Quest) and it was wrong. What am I missing here?
