Answer

$v_x=11.78m/s$ $v_{y}=-12.9m/s$ $\theta=48^{\circ}$ below the horizontal

Work Step by Step

We know that $v_x=vcos\theta$ $v_x=13m/s \times cos(25^{\circ})$ $v_x=11.78m/s$ and $v_{\circ}=v_{\circ y}-gt$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v_{y}=13m/s \times sin(25^{\circ})-(9.81m/s^2)(1.88s)$ $v_{y}=-12.9m/s$ Now $\theta^{\circ}=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-12.9m/s}{11.78})$ $\theta=48^{\circ}$ below the horizontal
