Question

Assume that, at the initial instant to = 0, a particle is thrown  with initial speed vo and with an initial angle θo, with respect to a direction parallel to the Earth's surface. In this way, in order to carry out an analytical study of its motion in a simpler way, consider a coordinate system xoy, with its origin at the particle's launch position, and with its positive x axis oriented in the direction of the horizontal motion of the particle and with its positive y-axis oriented vertically upward. In this sense, illustrate (make the force diagrams) the projectile launch, highlighting its main characteristics, and describe algebraically what is asked:
