Plot of trajectories of projectiles launched at different elevation angles but the same speed of 10 m/s in a vacuum and uniform downward gravity of 10 m/s^2; t = time from launch, T = time of flight, R = range and H = highest point of trajectory (indicated with arrows); points are at 0.05 s intervals and length of their tails is linearly ...
In projectile motion, the horizontal motion and the vertical motion are independent of each other; that is, neither motion affects the other. This is the principle of compound motion established by Galileo in 1638, [ 1 ] and used by him to prove the parabolic form of projectile motion.
The surface of the projectile also must be considered: a smooth projectile will face less air resistance than a rough-surfaced one, and irregularities on the surface of a projectile may change its trajectory if they create more drag on one side of the projectile than on the other. However, certain irregularities such as dimples on a golf ball ...

A projectile following a ballistic trajectory has both forward and vertical motion. Forward motion is slowed due to air resistance, and in point mass modeling the vertical motion is dependent on a combination of the elevation angle and gravity. Initially, the projectile is rising with respect to the line of sight or the horizontal sighting plane.
Projectile: Full metal projectiles should be made of a material with a very high density, like uranium (19.1 g/cm 3) or lead (11.3 g/cm 3).According to Newton's approximation, a full metal projectile made of uranium will pierce through roughly 2.5 times its own length of steel armor.
We consider the following example of envelope in motion. Suppose at initial height 0, one casts a projectile into the air with constant initial velocity v but different elevation angles θ. Let x be the horizontal axis in the motion surface, and let y denote the vertical axis. Then the motion gives the following differential dynamical system:
File information Description Trajectory of a projectile with viscous resistance, that is Stokes' law.Note that this only applies for low Reynolds numbers and thus in air only for tiny objects at very low velocity, certainly not a baseball.
