Projectile motion is the motion in which a projectile travels. If we know enough about a projectile, we can estimate things like the landing spot of the projectile or even the speed at which the projectile was launched. We see projectiles a lot in our everyday lives especially in the world of sports. Baseball, basketball, football, and soccer are sports in which angles and speeds of projectiles are adjusted to accurately launch the ball where you want.
In the picture above, the Quarterback is shown throwing a ball. This relates to projectile motion because in order for the ball to accurately reach the receiver, it has to be thrown at a certain angle, with the correct amount of velocity. Otherwise it would result in an inaccurate pass attempt.
