Recently in physics class, students explored projectile motion by examining how objects move when launched into the air, focusing on the effects of gravity and horizontal velocity. The class aimed to understand the relationship between launch angle, range, and flight time. 

Projectile motion is a type of motion experienced by an object or particle that is thrown into the air and is subject to gravity. The motion can be broken down into two components: horizontal (which remains constant) and vertical (which accelerates due to gravity). Understanding these components helps explain how things like sports balls, rockets, or even water fountains follow curved paths when launched.
