Horizontal ( +ve) Vertical ( +ve)

Initial velocity $\hspace{1cm}V_H=12 \sin 60 m/s \hspace{1cm} u_V=12 \cos60 m/s$

Acceleration $\hspace{1cm}a_H= 0 \hspace{1cm} a_V=g=9.81m/s^2$

Displacement $\hspace{1cm} x=11.3m \hspace{1cm} y=H$

Final velocity $\hspace{1cm} V_H=12 \sin 60 m/s\hspace{1cm} v_V=?$

Time $\hspace{1cm}t=? \hspace{1cm}t=?$

Horizontal motion:-

Using $s=ut+ \dfrac 12 at^2,$ we get,

$\hspace{1cm} x=V_H t [\because …
