Any particle which is thrown into space or air such that it 
moves under the effect of gravity is called as projectile. The 
motion of this particle is referred as projectile motion.

If F is constant, then a = constant and when force is in oblique 
direction with initial velocity, the result is the parabolic path,
Parabolic motion = vertical motion + horizontal motion

If F is constant, then a = constant and when force is in oblique

Parabolic motion = vertical motion + horizontal motion
Projectile motion is considered as two simultaneous motion in 
mutually perpendicular directions which are completely 
independent from each other i.e. horizontal motion and 
vertical motion

(i) Consider a projectile thrown with a velocity u making an 
angle ? with the horizontal from the ground.
(ii) Initial velocity u is resolved in horizontal and vertical 
direction i.e. u
x
= ucos?, u
y
= usin?
(iii) Again this projectile motion can be thought of as the 
combination of horizontal and vertical motion.
