Question 8Jas is calculating a projectile motion problem for a snowball that is thrown horizontally,assuming negligible air resistance. He determines that the final velocity of the snowballafter 2 seconds is roughly half if its initial velocity. Does this answer make sense? Why orwhy not?

Initial velocity = u ( in horizontal direction) Time (t) = 2 sec
