What is the difference between holding a paper ball in your hand and dropping it into a container while walking versus running towards the container and dropping the ball in hopes of it landing in the container? Well, we you are walking and you drop the ball, the ball generally falls in a vertical motion, considering of course that there is no wind. However, when you run and drop the ball, the path of the ball will be curved. This is called a projectile. There are four types of projectiles.
Here is an example to help you grasp the concept better.

Hope this clears up everything.
