Answer: The horizontal velocity of rover is 1.73 m/s
Explanation:
Horizontal velocity is defined as the velocity of body proceeding in the horizontal direction. This velocity proceeds in the 'x' direction.
Mathematically,
[tex]V_x=V_o\cos \theta[/tex]
where,
[tex]V_o[/tex] = constant velocity of rover = 2 m/s
[tex]\cos \theta[/tex] = cosine function of angle 30°
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]V_x=2\times \cos (30^o)\\\\V_x=1.73m/s[/tex]
Hence, the horizontal velocity of rover is 1.73 m/s
