Homework Statement
I have to find the x and y components of velocity. I'm given the original velocity of 65 m/s and the projectile is shot at an angle of 37 degrees.
Homework Equations
X component: Vx cos theta
Y component: Vy sin theta
The Attempt at a Solution
X component: 65 cos 37 = 51.9 m/s
Y component: 65 sin 37 = 39.1 m/s
I get the right answer for cos, but the correct answer for sin is -63.1m/s. How do you get this answer?
