Q

How can you think about the horizontal and vertical speeds of a projectile? (shadows)

A

For Vx, the horizontal, imagine the sun straight above and visualize the speed of the shadow cast on the ground. the speed of the shadow is the horizontal speed. For Vy, the vertical speed, imagine a huge spotlight behind where the projectile is being launched from, pointing in the direction of the projectiles path. Also imagine a wall just beyond it. the speed of the shadow of the ball on that wall is the vertical speed.
