The vertical component of the velocity after the given time is -9.8 m/s while the horizontal component of the velocity is 16 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • initial horizontal velocity, vₓ = 16 m/s
  • initial vertical velocity, [tex]v_y =0[/tex]
  • time interval 1 seconds

The components of the velocity can be horizontal or vertical velocity.

The vertical component of the velocity is affected by acceleration due to gravity while the horizontal component of the velocity is not affected by gravity.

The vertical component of the velocity is calculated as;

[tex]v_y = v_0_y -gt\\\\v_y = 0 - (1\times 9.8)\\\\v_y = -9.8 \ m/s[/tex]

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant since it is not affected by gravity.

The horizontal component of the velocity = 16 m/s

Thus, the vertical component of the velocity after the given time is -9.8 m/s while the horizontal component of the velocity is 16 m/s.
