Projectile Motion Description

This is a Java application designed to simulate the two-dimensional motion of a projectile under the influence of gravity. To analyze projectile motion, we generally consider the horizontal and vertical parts of the motion separately. If air resistance can be neglected, then the horizontal motion is motion with constant velocity. In contrast, the vertical motion is motion with constant acceleration. Putting these two motions together gives the parabolic motion that is characteristic of an object moving in two dimensions under the influence of gravity.
