Y component = 32.37

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of projection of the rocket is,

Initial velocity of the rocket is,

A vector at an angle with the horizontal can be resolved into mutually perpendicular components; one along the horizontal direction and the other along the vertical direction.

If a vector 'A' makes angle with the horizontal, then the horizontal and vertical components are given as:

Here, as the velocity is a vector quantity and makes an angle of 33.6 with the horizontal, its Y component is given as:

Plug in the given values and solve for . This gives,

Therefore, the Y component of initial velocity is 32.37.
