An airplane accelerates at 7.5 m/s2 at an angle of 16° above the horizontal. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. horizontal component: m/s2
vertical component: m/s2

Explanation:

horizontal component:

vertical component:

Explanation:

Rectangular components of a vector

Given a vector as a (magnitude, angle) pair, the rectangular components can be calculated as:

The acceleration of the airplane is given with a magnitude of 7.5 m/s^2 and an angle of 16°.

Calculate the components:

horizontal component:

vertical component:

it is very well related to a lot of things but with my limited knowledge i can confidently say that the answer is space.
