yeah, gravity doesn't take a holiday on an object bmoving. it's gonna take the same time to come down. and so we find that over here too. drop one ball, throw another ball out, same time. since you have that--with things just dropping straight down, it goes 10 meters per second. but if it also is going horizontally, doesn't that object have to go-- be going-- traveling at a faster speed than the one that's just dropping vertical? if you're gonna get an angle that's more of this way, yeah. see what happens in freefall though that the vertical speed will keep increasing, increasing, increasing and become very, very big compared to that horizontal speed you have. so it looks like you're going straight down. what do they do in the old cartoons where the roadrunner runs off the cliff, you know? the roadrunner runs like this: da-da-da-da-da-da-da, aaaaah! foooom! okay? they go straight down. but that's a little bit different than in that, gang, isn't it? the roadrunner will be like, doo-ooo-ooo. goes like that. always going this way all the way dow
