Easy - every second, the object will move horizontally x metres/second
(where x is it's initial horizontal speed)
Every second it will also move vertically y-g metres, where y is the
vertical speed it started off at. Easier to explain in equations:

At time t:
horizontal position = previous horizontal position + initial horizontal
velocity
vertical position = previous vertical position + (previous vertical
velocity - 9.8)

Weight does not matter, air resistance is usually negligable
Hope this helps, sorry I couldnt be stuffed extrapolating the equations for
position at time.
