Projectile Motion - Parabolic - Animation
Projectile motion is a form of motion in which an object or particle (a projectile) is thrown near the Earth's surface, and it moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. The implication here is that air resistance is neglected. The study of such motions is called ballistics, and such a trajectory is a ballistic trajectory.
