The horizontal component refers to the part of an object's motion or velocity that is parallel to the ground.
Vertical Component: The vertical component is the part of an object's motion or velocity that is perpendicular to the ground.
Projectile motion is the curved path followed by an object in free fall under the influence of gravity, where both horizontal and vertical components are present.
Range refers to the horizontal distance covered by a projectile before it hits the ground. It depends on both the initial speed and launch angle.
