1. The problem: I need to find the height and horizontal distance reached by a projectile given only the vertical and horizontal velocities. Vv=120m/s Vh= 30m/s this is for an algebra based physics class, I'm very new to this stuff.
X=1\2at^2 + Vo + Xo [/B]
but I have no idea where to go from here to find horizontal distance or anything else that would be necessary to finish the problem. Also, we are using 10m/s instead of 9.8m/s for the acceleration caused by gravity. I just need help with what the next step would be to figuring out the rest of the problem, do I just plug the numbers back into the formula in some way? I've just started taking physics, and I have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks in advance.[/B]

The Attempt at a Solution
: I think I was able to figure out the vertical height and time, getting t=12 and height as x=720but I have no idea where to go from here to find horizontal distance or anything else that would be necessary to finish the problem.
