To better understand projectile motion, we can analyze its vertical and horizontal components separately. The main motion equations we can use to do this are V=V
0 + at, X=X
0 + V
0t + 1/2at^2, and V^2=V^2
0 + 2a(X-X
0). Each of these equations can be used in respect to either X or Y values. For example, the first equation can be used to find the Y component (vertical component) of a projectile motion: Vy= Vy0 + ayt. *Also, in such a case, ay would actually be the acceleration due to gravity, or -9.81 m/s^2.
