Don't confuse the terminology. Horizontal and vertical components are properties of vectors. Projectiles are not vectors.the horizontal component of a projectile moving with initial velocity of 500 m/s at an angle 60° to x-axis is equal to:
Got it.Draw your x and y vectors along with the velocity vector.
Shooting from the hip just two meters away from the target? Couldn't resist.Why make life more complicated than what is necessary?
