Correct answer: 5
- Write the projectile trajectory equation
For a projectile launched with initial velocity components: its trajectory is
- Given horizontal component
The initial velocity in horizontal direction is unit vector , so
Also, .
So the trajectory becomes
- Compare with the given trajectory
Given:
Comparing with we get
- Hence the -component vector
The -component of initial velocity is
So the required blank is
