Atennis player hits a ball at an angle of 50 degrees above horizontal so that it has an acceleration of 12 m/s2. what is the horizontal component of the acceleration?

So we want to know what is the magnitude of the horizontal component of acceleration ah if we know that the overall acceleration a=12 m/s^2 and the angle of overall acceleration and the horizontal acceleration is α=50°. We know that ah=a*cosα. So now it isn't hard to get the horizontal component: ah=12*cos50=12*0.64=7.71 m/s^2. So the correct answer is ah=7.71 m/s^2. 

That would be the corect answer hope this

Idon't understand is there supposed to be a list or something if there is pm or add in under this message i will do my best to .
