A descent vehicle landing on Mars has a vertical velocity toward the surface of Mars of 5.5 m/s. At the same time, it has a horizontal velocity of 3.5 m/s. a) At what speed does the vehicle move along its descent path? b) At what angle with the vertical is this path? Round answer to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)

Explanation:

a) = √(5.5² + 3.5²) = 6.519202... = 6.5 m/s

b) θ = arctan(3.5/5.5) = 32.471192...32.5°
