Can someone please tell me how I would solve for an object thrown on a downward angle. What would be the steps to solving it easily.

    Assuming air resistance is to be neglected, resolve its motion vertically and horizontally. The vertical component is subject to gravitational acceleration g, the horizontal enjoys constant velocity. So you can easily treat the two components separately.

    You did not properly ask your question. What are you trying to solve for? Kinematic equations contain a component of initial velocity (Vo) which is the velocity of the thrown object when it is released. The inclusion of a "downward angle" would also mean that there is a trig component in the solution.

    Good Luck!
