How does wind affect projectile motion?
Projectile motion is an object dropped in its own inertia and gravitational pull.
Let's think logically: projectile motion is a motion with only an object's inertia and the pull of gravity; if we add wind or air resistance to that, it affects the weight, time, and the inertia of an object which eliminates its purpose of being an example of a projectile motion. Usually, we neglect air resistance, which affects the projectile motion.
P.S. This was solely based on me.

Wind affects projectile motion by exerting a force known as wind resistance or drag on the projectile. This force acts in the opposite direction to the projectile's velocity, slowing it down. As a result, the trajectory of the projectile is altered, causing deviations from its intended path. The extent of this deviation depends on factors such as the speed and direction of the wind, as well as the shape and surface area of the projectile. In cases where wind is significant, it is essential to account for its effects when predicting the motion of projectiles, especially for activities like shooting sports or ballistics.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- If a projectile is shot at a velocity of #7 m/s# and an angle of #pi/12#, how far will the projectile travel before landing?
- A projectile is shot from the ground at an angle of #pi/6 # and a speed of #1 /9 m/s#. Factoring in both horizontal and vertical movement, what will the projectile's distance from the starting point be when it reaches its maximum height?
- A soccer ball leaves a cliff 20.2 m above the valley floor, at an angle of 10 degrees above the horizontal. The ball hits the valley floor 3.0 seconds later. What is the initial velocity of the ball?
