To solve the problem of finding the speed of a projectile when its direction of motion makes an angle α with the horizontal, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Initial Conditions The projectile is fired with an initial speed \( u \) at an angle \( \theta \) with the horizontal. The initial horizontal and vertical components of the velocity can be expressed as: - Horizontal component: \( u_x = u \cos \theta \) - Vertical component: \( u_y = u \sin \theta \) ### Step 2: Analyze the Horizontal Motion ...
