There will ne a vertical force acting downwards = mg=1 newton
and one horizontal force towards the right, say, = Eq= 8 newton
so the resultant force is
and the angle made by the resultant force will be
and hence it will move along a straight line with an angle of 82.8 degrees with the vertical
So after 2 seconds
= 160 m
and
=20 m
assuming that the origin is the position of ball at t=0 and the x axis increases towards the right and y axis increases towards the downward direction.
