(a)

r = 660m , Ø = 43º

 x-component is image

image = 660 cos 43º

image = 660(0.73)

image = 482.69 m

 y-component is image =- r sinØ

image = -660 sin 43º

 image =- 660(0.682)

 image = - 450.12 m

image , image =482.69,- 450.12 m

(b)

v = 280 m/s  and Ø = 40º

 x-component is image = v cosØ

image = 280 cos ( 40° )

image = 280 (0.766)

image = 214.49 m/s

 y-component is image = v sinØ

 image = 280 sin ( 40° )

 image = 280(0.642)

image = 179.98 m/s

vx, vy = 214.49 ,179.98 m/s

(c)

a = 5.4 m/s²  and Ø is along negitive y-direction means Ø = - 90º with respect x-axis

x-component is image = a cos Ø

image = 5.4 cos (-90º)

image = 5.4 (0)

image = 0

 y-component is image = a sin Ø

 image = 5.4 sin (-90º)

 image = 5.4 (-1)

image = - 5.4 m/s^2

ax, ay = 0, - 5.4 m/s^2

Simply we can say that , there is no x-component because it is going along negitive y-direction
