A ball is thrown with velocity V at an angle θ to the horizontal. The acceleration of free fall is g. Assume that air resistance is negligible. What are the horizontal displacement x and the vertical displacement y after time t?

1. Ax = Vt cos θ; y = Vt sin θ + 1/2 gt^2
2. Bx = Vt cos θ; y = Vt sin θ – 1/2 gt^2
3. Cx = Vt sin θ; y = Vt cos θ + 1/2 gt^2
4. Dx = Vt sin θ; y = Vt cos θ – 1/2 gt^2
