Question

What are the factors that affect the motion of a projectile launched horizontally?

Answer 1

Answer:

there are three main factors that affect the trajectory of an object or body in flight: the projection angle, magnitude of projection velocity and height of projection.

A projectile is an object upon which the only force is gravity. Gravity acts to influence the vertical motion of the projectile, thus causing a vertical acceleration. The horizontal motion of the projectile is the result of the tendency of any object in motion to remain in motion at constant velocity.
