Here's why:
* Projectile Motion: Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or launched into the air, and its path is determined solely by the force of gravity. This means there's no other force pushing or pulling the object horizontally, like wind or thrust.
* Neglecting Air Resistance: In ideal projectile motion scenarios, we often ignore air resistance for simplicity. This makes gravity the only significant force acting on the object.
Key characteristics of projectile motion:
* The object follows a parabolic path.
* Gravity acts downward, causing a vertical acceleration.
* The horizontal motion is constant (no acceleration).
