    ________________________________________________________________________________
    A stone is catapulted at time t = 0, with an initial velocity of magnitude 25.0 m/s and at an angle of
    60.0 above the horizontal.
    a) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity?
    A component of a vector along an axis is the projection of the vector onto that axis. Therefore,
    v0x = v0cos = 25 cos60 = 12.5 m/s
    v0y = v0sin = 25 sin60 = 21.7 m/s

    b) What are the horizontal and vertical component of its velocity at t = 3.00 s?
    A projectile does not accelerate in the horizontal direction. Thus the x-component of its velocity does
    not change.
    vx = v0x = 12.5 m/s
    A projectile accelerates at a constant rate in the vertical direction. Thus, the y-component of its
    velocity changes linearly with time.
    vy = v0y-gt = 21.7 - 9.8 3 = -7.70 m/s

    c) What are the horizontal and vertical components of its displacement from the catapult site at t =
    3.00 s?
    The horizontal component of a projectiles velocity is constant, thus the displacement is given by
    velocity times time interval.
    x = v0x t = 12.5 3 = 37.5 m
    The vertical component of the displacement is given by a quadratic function of time.
    y = v0yt - (1/2)gt2 = 21.7 3 - 0.5 9.8 32 = 21.0 m
