The mass of a projectile has no direct effect on its horizontal motion in projectile motion. However, a heavier mass may affect the projectile's vertical motion by influencing factors such as initial velocity, air resistance, and gravity, which can impact its trajectory.
Yes, air resistance (also known as drag) does have an effect on a projectile's motion. It opposes the projectile's motion, slowing it down and causing it to lose kinetic energy. This can alter the trajectory and distance traveled by the projectile.
Gravity affects the vertical component of projectile motion by accelerating the object downwards, increasing its speed as it falls. This causes a parabolic trajectory. Gravity has no effect on the horizontal component, which remains constant unless an external force is applied.
Projectile motion.
In the absence of air resistance, mass does not affect the motion of a projectile. All objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass in a vacuum. This principle is described by Galileo's law of falling bodies.
The downward component of the motion of a projectile is influenced by the initial velocity and angle of launch, resulting in a curved path known as a projectile motion. In contrast, free fall refers to the vertical motion of an object under the influence of gravity alone, where the acceleration is constant and the path is straight.

Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.

motion of a projectile
Projectile motion includes two types of motion: horizontal motion, which is constant and uniform, and vertical motion, which is influenced by gravity and acceleration. The combination of these two motions results in the curved path taken by the projectile.
The horizontal component of a projectile follows uniform motion, meaning it moves at a constant velocity in the absence of air resistance or other forces. This motion is independent of the vertical motion of the projectile.
Gravity
Yes throwing of a dart is an example of a projectile, as the dart is being thrown under constant acceleration due to gravity. However the effect isn't significant as the time of exposure isn't quite substantial.
Yes, the size and shape of a projectile can affect its motion. A larger, more streamlined projectile will typically experience less air resistance and travel further than a smaller, more irregularly shaped one. Additionally, the mass distribution of a projectile can also impact its stability and trajectory during flight.
