Assume a projectile is launched from ground height over a flat plane, at an angle of 50 degrees above the horizontal with an initial speed of 100 m/s.

Question

What is the initial velocity of the projectile parallel to the ground (in the x direction) and perpendicular to the ground (in the y direction)? Show all of your work.

Answer 1

Vo = 100m/s[50o]
Xo = 100*cos50
Yo = 100*sin50
