A mass, m, is projected horizontally with constant velocity, u_mx, in a gravitational field. A charge, Q, is projected horizontally with constant velocity, u_qx, in a vertical electric field. Table 1 compares the physical properties and equations for these two cases after time, t.

Using conventional symbols for physical quantities, complete Column 2 and Column 3 of Table 1.
