💡 Expert Tip:

When working on projectile motion, always:

  • Break forces and motion into horizontal and vertical components
  • Use SUVAT equations correctly for each axis
  • Clearly define time as a shared parameter across components

Clarity in vector separation = fewer errors and faster solving.
