Projectiles Launched Horizontally
When an object is launched horizontally, it faces a downward acceleration. When something is launched at a horizontal angle, they do not just fall straight down. The horizontal velocity remains the same the whole time it is launched horizontally.
When playing catch with a puppy, and are throwing the ball, it is a projectile that is being launched horizontally through the air.
