Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is thrown into the air and is subject to the force of gravity, following a curved path called a trajectory.
Projectile motion is the motion of an object that moves in a straight line without any external forces acting on it.
Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is dropped from a height and falls straight down due to gravity.
Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is pushed along a surface with constant speed.

What is the principle of conservation of energy in projectile motion?
In projectile motion, mechanical energy is conserved; potential energy at the highest point is equal to the kinetic energy at launch.
In projectile motion, energy is lost due to air resistance and is not conserved.
In projectile motion, kinetic energy is always greater than potential energy.
In projectile motion, total energy increases as the projectile rises.

How does air resistance affect projectile motion?
Air resistance has no effect on projectile motion.
Air resistance increases the range of the projectile.
Air resistance opposes the motion of the projectile, reducing its range and altering its trajectory.
Air resistance causes the projectile to move in a straight line.

What is the horizontal component of velocity in projectile motion?
It increases throughout the flight.
It decreases due to air resistance.
It remains constant throughout the projectile's flight, assuming no air resistance.
It varies depending on the angle of launch.

What is free fall?
Free fall is the motion of an object when the only force acting on it is gravity, causing it to accelerate downwards.
Free fall occurs when an object is thrown upwards and then falls back down due to gravity.
Free fall is when an object moves horizontally without any vertical motion.
Free fall is the motion of an object in a vacuum where air resistance is present.
