You need to find the time when the particle is rising at velocity k and moving forwards at velocity 4k.

The horizontal velocity shall stay constant.

Oh ok, so you'd do simultaneous equations with suvat? And thank you very much for helping me, I really appreciate it! :biggrin:

Yep. I haven't solved the question myself, but that's how it is done.

So you need to find the time that the vertical velocity is 1/4 of that? Thanks a lot! :biggrin:

find expression V, for the vertical speed in terms of t
horizontal speed U is constant


then V/U = 1/4 ...
