Make a sketch of how you expect the graph of the horizontal component of acceleration vs. mass to look for an object in projectile motion. Do you think the horizontal component of an object's acceleration will increase, decrease, or stay the same as the mass of that object increases? Explain your reasoning. Make a sketch of how you expect the graph of the vertical component of acceleration vs. mass to look for an object in projectile motion. Do you think the vertical component of an object's acceleration will increase, decrease, or stay the same as the mass of that object increases? Explain your reasoning.

Introduction:
A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. There are a variety of examples of projectiles. An object dropped from rest is a projectile (provided that the influence of air resistance is negligible). An object that is thrown vertically upward is also a projectile (provided that the influence of air resistance is negligible). And an object which is thrown upward at an angle to the horizontal is also a projectile (provided that the influence of air resistance is negligible).
