Introduction
A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is
gravity. Projectile is any object that once projected or dropped
continues in motion by its own inertia and is influenced only by the
downward force of gravity. By definition, a projectile has a single
force that acts upon it - the force of gravity. If there were any other
force acting upon an object, then that object would not be a projectile.
Thus, the free-body diagram of a projectile would show a single force
acting downwards and labelled force of gravity (or simply Fgrav). By
definition, a projectile is any object upon which the only force is
gravity.

Our Investigation:
Aim: - To investigate the velocity and the
maximum height reached by a projectile
fired at an angle made with the horizontal
from the range and angle and the time
period from the made model.
