Vector Resolution Word Problems Practice

The document contains a series of vector resolution word problems that require calculating horizontal and vertical components of forces, velocities, and displacements based on given angles and distances. Each problem presents a real-world scenario, such as pulling a cart, flying an airplane, or throwing a ball, and asks for specific component values. The problems involve basic trigonometric functions to resolve vectors into their respective components.

VECTOR RESOLUTION WORD PROBLEMS

PRACTICE WORDED PROBLEMS


1. A person pulls a cart with a force of 50 N directed at an angle of 30°
above the horizontal.
👉 How much of the force acts horizontally and how much acts
vertically?

2. An airplane flies with a velocity of 200 km/h at an angle of 45° north


of east.
👉 How far does it move eastward and northward in one hour?
3. A hiker walks 10 km in a direction of 60° north of west.
👉 Find the displacement components toward the west and toward the
north.

4. A box weighing 100 N rests on a ramp inclined at 25° with the


horizontal.
👉 Find the component of the weight that is parallel and
perpendicular to the ramp.

5. A boy throws a ball with a velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 40° above


the ground.
👉 What are the horizontal and vertical components of the ball’s initial
velocity?
6. A ship sails 30 km in a direction 20° east of north.
👉 Find how far the ship has traveled toward the north and toward the
east.

7. A ladder leans against a wall making an angle of 70° with the


ground. The ladder is 8 m long.
👉 How high up the wall does it reach, and how far is its base from the
wall?
