Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle (a projectile) that is thrown near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only (in particular, the effects of air resistance are assumed to be negligible).
Gravity, being a downward force, causes a projectile to accelerate in the downward direction. The force of gravity could never alter the horizontal velocity of an object since perpendicular components of motion are independent of each other.
In this type of motion gravity is the only factor acting on our objects. We can have different types of projectile type. For example, you throw the ball straight upward, or you kick a ball and give it a speed at an angle to the horizontal or you just drop things and make them free fall; all these are examples of projectile motion.

A projectile is an object that is given an initial velocity, and is acted on by gravity. The amount of time it spends in the air is called the time of flight.
Maximum Range. Imagine a cannonball launched from a cannon at three different launch angles - 30-degrees, 45-degrees, and 60-degrees. The launch speed is held constant; only the angle is changed.
the x-axis (horizontal) component is 4, and the y-axis (vertical) component is 1. Typically, a physics problem gives you an angle and a magnitude to define a vector; you have to find the components yourself using a little trigonometry.
Objects moving through air are slowed down due to air resistance, sometimes called drag. ... When air resistance is taken into account the trajectory of a projectile is changed.
Although you normally hear about trying to reduce or eliminate friction, it actually has some important uses. Since friction is a resistance force that slows down or prevents motion, it is necessary in many applications where you might want to hold items or do things and prevent slipping or sliding.
For ideal projectile motion, which starts and ends at the same height, maximum range is achieved. when the firing angle is 45°. If air resistance is taken into account, the optimal angle is somewhat. less than 45° and this is often considered obvious.

that a projectile of mass $m$ is launched, at $t=0$, from ground level (in a flat plain), making an angle $\theta $ to the horizontal. Suppose, further, that, in addition to the force of gravity, the projectile is subject to an air resistance force.
Video: Projectile Motion: Definition and Examples. A projectile is any object that is given an initial velocity and then follows a path determined entirely by gravity.
There are four types of friction: static, sliding, rolling, and fluid friction. Static, sliding, and rolling friction occur between solid surfaces. Static friction is strongest, followed by sliding friction, and then rolling friction, which is weakest. Fluid friction occurs in fluids, which are liquids or gases.
The factors that affect projectile motion are the combination of an initial forward velocity and the downward vertical force of gravity. Mass does not affect projectile motion if there is no air pressure.
Many projectiles not only undergo a vertical motion, but also undergo a horizontal motion. That is, as they move upward or downward they are also moving horizontally. There are the two components of the projectile's motion - horizontal and vertical motion.
The purpose of this experiment is to predict and verify the range and the time-of-flight of a projectile launched at an angle. To predict the range of the projectile when it is shot off a table at some angle above the horizontal, it is necessary first to determine the initial speed (muzzle velocity) of the ball.
However, it was a long time ago with crappy looking graphs. I can do better. The textbooks say that the maximum range for projectile motion (with no air resistance) is 45 degrees.
The horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant (a never changing in value), There is a vertical acceleration caused by gravity; its value is 9.8 m/s/s, down, The vertical velocity of a projectile changes by 9.8 m/s each second, The horizontal motion of a projectile is independent of its vertical motion.
