Problem Statement: 1.I'm asked to find the northerly and easterly velocity of kite skier. the skier is moving 25 ms^1 in the N 25degrre E direction.
2. Wind from the west makes the skier accelerate to the east at 2.0ms^1 for 1.8s CAlculate the new velocity.
3. Use the answer from (1) to calculate the size and direction of the new resultant velocity of the skier.
Relevant Equations: I used Sin and Cos for number 1
For number 1 I used the Sin and Cos of 25degrees to find the Northerly and easterly velocities. MY results are 10.6m s^1 Northerly and 22.7m s^-1 Easterly. SIn 25degrees= Vn/25 Vn= 25 Sin 25degrees = 10.6m s^1 N Cos 25degrees = Ve/25 25 Cos 25degrees=22.7m s^-1 E
For number 2 all I know is that we are given the acceleration and time.
Maybe it's not working because I've incorrectly solved for 1?
