A rocket hits the ground at an angel of 60° from the horizontal at a speed of 300 m/s.

a. Draw the vector representing the rocket's impact and show the westward and eastward components of it's velocity.

b. Calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the rocket's impact velocity.
 
Are you sure this is the actual text of the question?
Assuming the usual meaning of East and West, you cannot have a vector with components along both.
You can solve (b) though. Just draw a diagram.
