Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution:

We are given a projectile ( ball ) that is launched at an angle θ and has an initial velocity  v0.

Now, we will determine the vertical and horizontal components of velocity of the ball :

ux = v0 cos θ          -1uy = v0 sin θ           -2where, ux is the horizontal component of the velocity of the ball and,              uy is the vertical component of the velocity of the ball
