Velocity
The average velocity is the ratio of the
displacement to the time interval for the
displacement
Δr
v=
Δt
v xo = v o cos θo = v x = constant
x-direction
ax = 0
x = vxot
This is the only operative equation in the x-direction
since there is uniform velocity in that direction

Examples of Projectile
Motion:
An object may be
fired horizontally
The initial velocity is
all in the x-direction
vo = vx and vy = 0
