During part of its trajectory (which lasts exactly 1 min) a missile travels at a constant speed of while maintaining a constant orientation angle of from the vertical.
(a) During this phase, what is true about its velocity components: (1) vy > vx, (2) vy = vx, or (3) vy < vx?
(b) Determine the two velocity components analytically to confirm your choice in part (a) and also calculate how far the missile will rise during this time.
