Answer #1

The horizontal motion in the projectile motion is unaffected by downward force of gravity. Therefore, the projectile has no acceleration/deceleration in the horizontal direction and so it travels at a constant speed horizontally.

Dx = uxt

The vertical component of motion experiences a downward acceleration due to gravity.

Dy = uyt - (1/2)gt2

The combination of horizontal and vertical motion creates a Parabolic path of the projectile's motion given by:

Dy = Dxtan - (gx2)/2u2cos2
