Projectile motion is the motion of an object through the air due to an initial force, such as being thrown or launched. It follows a curved path called a trajectory, which is influenced by gravity and air resistance. The object's motion can be broken down into horizontal and vertical components, with the horizontal component remaining uniform and the vertical component experiencing acceleration due to gravity.
Projectile.
Projectile motion is curved because it involves both horizontal and vertical components of motion. The curved path is a result of the object experiencing a constant acceleration due to gravity in the vertical direction, while moving at a constant velocity in the horizontal direction. This combination of horizontal and vertical motions creates the characteristic parabolic trajectory of a projectile.
The horizontal component of a projectile follows uniform motion, meaning it moves at a constant velocity in the absence of air resistance or other forces. This motion is independent of the vertical motion of the projectile.
Gravity
To improve projectile motion, you can adjust the initial velocity, launch angle, or launch height of the projectile. By optimizing these parameters, you can achieve greater distance, height, or accuracy in the motion of the projectile. Additionally, reducing air resistance and wind can also help improve the overall projectile motion.
One characteristic of projectile motion is that the object follows a curved path under the influence of gravity. This motion can be divided into horizontal and vertical components that are independent of each other. The object’s velocity changes due to the constant acceleration from gravity.
Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.

Projectile motion is a form of motion wherein an object moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on gravity.
The mass of a projectile has no direct effect on its horizontal motion in projectile motion. However, a heavier mass may affect the projectile's vertical motion by influencing factors such as initial velocity, air resistance, and gravity, which can impact its trajectory.
