Projectiles



What is a projectile? Well by definition of google, a projectile is any object projected into space with the exertion of force. Would you say that the image of above is a depiction of a projectile yes. Why? Because of the fact that the object was projected into space with the exertion of force. Now you might ask why the object is making a parabolic shape after being thrown before hitting the girl with x's for eyes. Well the answer is simple, gravity. One of the main ideas that makes a projectile a projectile is the fact that the only force on the object after leaving the initial force is gravity itself which will always cause it to go down. Thus the saying, "what goes up must come down."
