6. Equations for Constant Acceleration Only
vxf = vxi + axt
xf = xi + (vxi + vxf) t / 2
xf = xi + vxi t + axt2/2
vxf2 = vxi2 + 2ax(xf – xi) Assuming the conditions: ti = 0, tf = t, x(0) = xi and v(0) = vxi and ax is constant.

7. vyf = vyi + ayt
yf = yi + (vyi + vyf) t / 2
yf = yi + vyi t + ayt2/2
vyf2 = vyi2 + 2ay(yf – yi)

19. Active Figure 4.7  The parabolic path of a projectile that leaves the origin with a velocity vi. The velocity vector v changes with time in both magnitude and direction. This change is the result of acceleration in the negative y direction. The x component of velocity remains constant in time because there is no acceleration along the horizontal direction. The y component of velocity is zero at the peak of the path.
At the Active Figures link at you can change launch angle and initial speed. You can also observe the changing components of velocity along the trajectory of the projectile.
