Question: Describe the horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile?
A projectile is an object that is thrown into the air and moves under the influence of gravity. The motion of a projectile can be divided into two components: horizontal and vertical. The horizontal component of a projectile's motion is constant, meaning that it does not change in speed or direction. The horizontal component of a projectile's motion depends on the initial velocity and the angle of projection. The vertical component of a projectile's motion is variable, meaning that it changes in speed and direction due to gravity. The vertical component of a projectile's motion depends on the initial velocity, the angle of projection and the acceleration due to gravity. The path of a projectile is a curve called a parabola.
