AP Physics C: Mechanics
1.5 Motion in Two or Three Dimensions

| Projectile | Horizontal velocity component (\(v_x\)) | Vertical velocity component (\(v_y\)) |
|---|---|---|
| P | \(2v_0\) | \(+v_0\) |
| Q | \(v_0\) | \(+2v_0\) |
| R | \(2v_0\) | \(-v_0\) |
| S | \(v_0\) | \(0\) |
The table lists the initial velocity components for each projectile, where the \(+x\)-direction is directed horizontally away from the cliff face and the \(+y\)-direction is directed vertically upward. Which of the following correctly ranks the times of flight, \(\Delta t\), of the projectiles from launch until they strike the plain?
