Here's why:
* Neglecting Air Resistance: In ideal projectile motion, we often ignore air resistance. This means we assume there is no friction or drag from the air.
* Gravity's Constant Pull: Gravity acts on all objects with mass, pulling them towards the center of the Earth. This force is constant and always acts downwards.
Important Note: In real-world scenarios, air resistance is present and plays a significant role in projectile motion. Air resistance creates a force that opposes the motion of the projectile, affecting its trajectory and speed.
