How does gravity affect a ball's trajectory?

How does gravity affect a ball's trajectory when I throw it?

Gravity pulls the ball downward, affecting its upward and downward motion, creating a parabolic path.

So, if I throw it harder, will it go higher?

Yes, throwing it harder gives it more initial velocity, allowing it to reach a higher point before gravity pulls it back down.

What happens if I throw it at an angle?

Throwing at an angle creates a longer trajectory, maximizing distance due to the combination of vertical and horizontal motion.

Can you explain the concept of projectile motion?

Sure! Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown into the air, influenced by gravity, following a curved path.
