Any object that is given any initial velocity and which follows a path due to gravitational force acting on it and by the frictional resistance of the atmosphere is called a projectile. This is because the object is projected and not influenced by anything except gravity.
Answer:
Just as the angles of the sun, moon and Earth affect tidal heights over the course of a lunar month, so do their distances to one another. Because the moon follows an elliptical path around the Earth, the distance between them varies by about 31,000 miles over the course of a month.

Explanation:
CON EL TEOREMA DE PITÁGORAS
<em>v</em> = 
= 27.7 km/h
Distance of fall = (1/2) · (acceleration of gravity) · (time)²
= (1/2) · (1.63 m/s²) · (9 sec)²
= (0.815 m/s²) · (81 sec²)
= 66 meters .
On Earth ... IF there were no air ... the feather would fall
397 meters in the same amount of time !
Explanation:
a)Snell's law states that when light travels from a rarer to a denser substance, like air to water or from a less dense layer of the atmosphere to a denser layer, it bends towards the normal{an imaginary line that is perpendicular to the surface of both media}. However,the opposite occurs when light moves from a more dense to a less dense medium. The angle between the normal and the refracted light ray is known as the angle of refraction.
In case of earth as light from the stars enters the earth atmosphere it bends towards smaller angle because the earth density increases as the light travel towards the earth troposphere from the exosphere as per the Snell's law described above.
b)Light rays that travel straight down do not bend, while rays that enter the Earth's atmosphere at a shallower angle get refracted and bend towards the normal, roughly following the direction of the Earth's curvature.
This means that celestial objects in the zenith position directly above you appear in the correct position, while objects closer to the horizon appear to be higher up in the sky than they actually are.
