SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating delta X (Δx) using initial velocity components Vox and Voy in a projectile motion scenario. The provided values are Vox = 25.202 m/s, Voy = 12.097 m/s, and the initial velocity Vo = 27.95 m/s with an angle ∅ = 25.62°. The relevant kinematic equation for this problem is Δx = Vo * t + 1/2 * a * t^2, where acceleration (a) is due to gravity. The problem assumes no air resistance, indicating a straightforward application of kinematic principles.
