Answer:

Vx = 6.82

Vy = 16.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angle with the positive x-axis is within 0 and 90 degrees, the vector falls in the first quadrant and both the horizontal and vertical components of V are positive. The components are defined by:

[tex]V_x = |V|*cos(67.2)\\V_x = |17.6|*cos(67.2)\\V_x = 6.82\\\\V_y = |V|*sin(67.2)\\V_y = |17.6|*sin(67.2)\\V_y= 16.22[/tex]

The horizontal component, Vx = 6.82.

The vertical component, Vy = 16.22.
