Running Horses-----SOHCAHTOA
A herd of wild horses races across the flat, open plains of the Great Basin in central Nevada. If the horses are running at 12.2 m/s at a compass heading of 340 degrees, what is the northward component of their velocity?
And, what is the westward component of the horses' velocity?
SOHCAHTOA
i tried to draw the triangle/sketch. but it doesnt work out when i plus it into the SOHCAHTOA.
my diagram had 20 deg, and i had the hypotenuse at 12.2m/s.
was tht a wrong diagram?
can someone tell me know to draw the correct diagram?
