Luke on Planet Tatooine throws a ball, and it follows the parabolic trajectory shown below. The ball’s velocity at t = 0 s is (4.0 m/s, 6.0 m/s). What is x- and y-components of the ball's velocity at t = 3 s?

### Projectile Motion on Planet Tatooine

**Problem:**
Luke on Planet Tatooine throws a ball, and it follows the parabolic trajectory shown below. The ball’s velocity at \( t = 0 \) s is \( (4.0 \, \text{m/s}, 6.0 \, \text{m/s}) \). What are the x- and y-components of the ball's velocity at \( t = 3 \) s?

#### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram below illustrates the parabolic trajectory of the ball from the time Luke throws it until \( t = 3 \) s. The positions at \( t=1.0 \) s, \( t=2.0 \) s, and \( t=3.0 \) s are marked on the trajectory.

#### Question:
What are the x- and y-components of the ball's velocity \( v_x \) and \( v_y \) at \( t = 3 \) s?

#### Options for Velocity Components:
- A. -6 m/s
- B. 2 m/s
- C. -3 m/s
- D. -4 m/s
- E. 6 m/s
- F. 3 m/s
- G. 4 m/s
- H. -2 m/s
- I. 0 m/s
- J. not enough information

#### Answer Selection:
1. \( v_x \) is:
    - [Dropdown with options: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J]

2. \( v_y \) is:
    - [Dropdown with options: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J]

Use the given initial velocities and the time elapsed, considering the effects of gravity, to calculate the components of velocity at \( t = 3 \) s.
