Overview
Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object thrown near the Earth's surface and moving along a curved path under the action of gravity only.
💡
Pro Tips
The maximum range is achieved at an angle of 45° (ignoring air resistance).
Horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the flight.
Vertical velocity becomes zero at the peak of the trajectory.

Fun Facts
"In a vacuum, a feather and a hammer would follow the exact same parabolic path."
"The trajectory is always a parabola (in ideal conditions)."
"Real-world factors like air resistance (drag) and wind significantly change the path."
