Components of Velocity |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Neglecting air resistance, a ball thrown into the air at an angle will travel in a parabolic path. The velocity of the ball (V) has independent vertical (V) and horizontal (H) components; the horizontal component stays the same the entire time the ball is in the air, while the vertical component, the only component affected by gravity, changes continuously while the ball is aloft. | ||||||
