Projectile Motion:

An object or particle that is thrown near the Earth's surface experiences a projectile motion and creates a parabolic path. Its velocity at each point or time t is expressed as the sum of horizontal and vertical components. The horizontal velocity is constant while the velocity along the y-axis is affected by the gravity.
