Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown (projected) into the air when, after the initial force that launches the object, air resistance is negligible and the only other force that object experiences is the force of gravity.
projectiles launched horizontally have no initial vertical velocity. as a result, the vertical motion is identical to that of a dropped object. the downward velocity increases due to the acceleration due to gravity.

projectile in two-dimension moving under the action of uniform gravitation. We our definitions of position, velocity, and acceleration for an object that extend moves in two dimensions (in a plane) by treating each direction independently, which we can do with vector quantities by resolving each of these quantities into components. For
a projectile is an object that once given an initial thrust, it moves through the air only under the force of gravity. Independence of Motion in Two Dimensions: take a look at the example above; we have two golf balls photographed with a strobe light that flashed 30 times per second.
A projectile is any object with an initial non-zero, horizontal velocity whose acceleration is due to gravity alone. An essential characteristic of a projectile is that its future has already been preordained.
