1 Projectile Motion A projectile is an object moving in two or three dimensions only under the influence of gravity

2 Free Fall and Projectiles
All objects accelerate toward the Earth, near the surface, at the same rate equal to m/s2 (neglecting air resistance). Vector Quantities not parallel are independent of each other. A projectile follows a parabolic path. The horizontal velocity of an object in projectile motion is constant.

3 The Vertical and Horizontal components are independent of each other.

4 The Horizontal Component of the motion of a projectile has constant velocity

5 The horizontal velocity is constant because the acceleration in the horizontal direction is zero
