Projectile Motion

Definitions

Projectile Motion: A motion that can be separated into a two component motion, a horizontal component travelling at constant velocity and a vertical component travelling at constant acceleration forming a parabolic path.

Air Resistance: A frictional force that opposes motion (producing a deceleration) due to an object moving through air particles.
