$1.3.5.$ A stone is thrown at a velocity $v$ at an angle $\varphi$ to the horizon. After what time will the velocity be at the angle $\alpha$ with the horizon?
</p>
<h3>Solution</h3>
<p>
The horizontal component of velocity remains unchanged:
$$ v_{x}(\varphi) = v_{x}(\alpha) = v \cdot\cos{\varphi}$$
And the horizontal component decreases, depending on time, according to the law:
$$ v_{y}(t) = vt \sin{\varphi} - gt $$
From where the angle that the velocity makes with the horizon is determined as:
$$\tan{\alpha} = \frac{v_{y}(t)}{v_x}$$
Or,
$$\tan{\alpha}\cdot v \cdot\cos{\varphi} = v \cdot\sin{\varphi} - gt $$
