# A projectile is launched at an upward angle of \(30^\circ\) to the horizontal with a speed of \(30 \, \text{m/s}\). How does the horizontal component of its velocity \(1.0 \, \text{s}\) after launch compare with its horizontal component of velocity \(2.0 \, \text{s}\) after launch, ignoring air resistance?
