Projectile Motion
Any object that moves in response to gravity along a two dimensional curved trajectory is called a projectile. The motion of the projectile under gravity is called the projectile motion. The amount of time it takes for the projectile to complete its motion is known as its time of flight. Remember, it takes the same amount of time for both a ball projected horizontally and a ball dropped to hit the ground. The vertical velocity changes because of gravity, but the horizontal velocity remains constant. The range is the distance travelled by the projectile (dx).
