Is there a way to mathematically or physically prove that horizontal motion and vertical motion are effectively independant? ie - is it possible to derive this fact from, say, vectors?
I know that is is true - the parabola shape of projectiles wouldn't make sense otherwise, but is there a convincing proof for it? It would just allow me to accept this fact if i had a proof, and then i would be happy to use the procedure!
Thanks in advance.
