Frequently Asked Questions
What is horizontal projectile motion?
An object launched with horizontal velocity, falling freely under gravity. Horizontal velocity stays constant; vertical velocity grows linearly with time.
Does this account for air resistance?
No - it assumes a vacuum. Real projectiles experience drag that reduces range and impact speed.
How is the range calculated?
Range = v₀ × t, where t is the time to fall the launch height: t = √(2h/g).
