Figure 5.27 compares a cannonball in free fall (in blue) to a cannonball launched horizontally in projectile motion (in red). You can see that the cannonball in free fall falls at the same rate as the cannonball in projectile motion.

In physics, projectile motion is a fundamental concept that unveils the captivating nature of objects propelled into the air, guided solely by the force of gravity. This article explores projectile motion, unravelling its core principles, delving into its mathematical formulations and shedding light on its practical applications in the real world.
In this explainer, we will learn how to derive formulae for projectile motion and use them in problems. Suppose a particle is projected from a flat horizontal plane at an angle of 𝜃 ∘ from the horizontal with an initial velocity of 𝑈 m⋅s −1 and that no forces other than gravity act upon it during its flight.
Projectile motion is when an object moves in a bilaterally symmetrical, parabolic path. The path that the object follows is called its trajectory. Projectile motion only occurs when there is one force applied at the beginning, after which the only influence on the trajectory is that of gravity.
