In a fructose induced rage, you decide to throw a lime at an angle through the air. It takes a path through space as shown by the curved, dashed line in the diagram below. The lime in this case is considered to be a two-dimensional projectile since it's flying both vertically and horizontally through the air, and it's only under the influence of gravity. Isn't there air resistance?
Since the gravitational force pulls downward, gravity will only affect the vertical component of the velocity \red {v_y}v
y
start color red, v, start subscript, y, end subscript, end color red of the lime. The horizontal component of the velocity \blue {v_x}v
x
start color blue, v, start subscript, x, end subscript, end color blue will remain unaffected and stay constant as the lime moves along its path.
