that is, the force is equal to the mass times the acceleration. Well include the force due to gravity here,
that is, the weight, but will ignore air drag for now. Forces and velocities are both vector quantities, that
is, they have both magn itude and direction. (The state trooper is interested in your speed, which is the
magnitude of your velocity, but if you are trying to get somewhere in particular, your velocity is key.)
Well resolve forces (and accelerations and velocities) into components in the x (horizontal) and y
(vertical) directions and apply Newtons 2 nd law separately to each.
Since we have ignored air drag, there are no forces in the x (horizontal direction), thus the
horizontal acceleration is identically 0.0. That mea ns the horizontal velocity (U) will be constant and
equal to the initial value Uinitial . The horizontal position is then given by:
ma y mg ,
that is, the acceleration in the vertical direction is equal to -g (9.8 m/s 2 in the metric system, 32.2 ft/s2 in
the English system. With this uniform acceleration, the vertical velocity (V) is then given by:

The initial velocity components specified in these equations can be found from simple trigonometry:
