When a ball is hit at an angle to the horizontal, the ball has two motions going for it concurrently: the first and simpler one is the constant-speed horizontal motion; the other is the vertical constant-acceleration motion. To investigate the motion of the ball, we use kinematic equations based on Newton's laws.
