 PROJECTILE MOTION
Any object that moves in two dimensions and
forms a curved path and is acted upon by
gravity

𝐴𝑦 = -9.8 m/𝑠 2
1. An object is moving This is because though the
horizontally at 80 m/s acceleration due to gravity always
acts downwards, it is in a direction
on a cliff that is 50 m opposite to the motion of the

high. projectile when the projectile is

moving upwards, which means that

a. time of flight
it becomes −g with respect to the
projectile trajectory.
