Two-Dimensional Motion with Uniform Acceleration
If you’ve got the hang of 1-D motion, you should have no trouble at all with 2-D motion. The motion of any object moving in two dimensions can be broken into x- and y-components. Then it’s just a matter of solving two separate 1-D kinematic equations.
The most common problems of this kind on SAT II Physics involve projectile motion: the motion of an object that is shot, thrown, or in some other way launched into the air. Note that the motion or trajectory of a projectile is a parabola.
