1) Horizontal velocity = 20 x cos 53 degrees = 12.0 m/s
 Vertical velocity = 20 x sin 53 deg = 16.0 m/s

2) Horizontal velocity = 10 x cos 68 = 3.75 m/s
Vertical velocity = 10 x sin 68 = 9.3 m/s

It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.
