* Two-Dimensional Motion: The ball moves both vertically (up and down due to gravity) and horizontally (depending on the initial throw).
* Constant Acceleration: The only force acting on the ball after it's thrown is gravity, which causes a constant downward acceleration.
* Parabolic Path: The combination of horizontal motion and downward acceleration results in a parabolic trajectory.
Key Points:
* The horizontal velocity of the ball remains constant (ignoring air resistance).
* The vertical velocity changes due to gravity, slowing down as it goes up, stopping at the highest point, and then accelerating downwards.
* The time it takes for the ball to go up is equal to the time it takes to come down.
