Projectile

A projectile is any object that is thrown, dropped, or propelled into motion, moving through the air primarily under the influence of gravity. Once launched, it follows a curved path called a trajectory, determined by its initial speed, angle, and the force of gravity. Examples include a thrown ball, a flying arrow, or a launched rocket. The key aspects of projectile motion involve understanding how the object moves forward due to its initial velocity and how gravity pulls it downward, creating a predictable, curved path until it lands or hits a target.
