Model boundaries
- Air resistance is ignored.
- Gravity is uniform and acts vertically downward.
- The ground is level at y = 0 m.

Accessible text description
A side-on coordinate diagram shows a projectile following a parabolic path above level ground. A marker moves along the path with the timeline. Horizontal and vertical velocity arrows show the two components, while linked mini graphs show constant horizontal velocity and linearly decreasing vertical velocity.
