PROJECTILE

1. Projectile motion involves both horizontal and vertical motion that are independent of each other. Horizontal motion involves constant velocity and zero acceleration, while vertical motion involves changing velocity and 9.8 m/s^2 acceleration due to gravity. 2. A projectile is any object that is thrown or projected and moves through the air, following a curved trajectory due to gravity. Its motion can be analyzed by separating it into independent horizontal and vertical components. 3. Questions involving projectile motion can be solved by applying the equations for horizontal and vertical motion separately to determine values like maximum height, time of flight, landing point, etc. Key values like initial velocity and angle of launch must be known.
