Professor Walter Lewin explains projectile motion as the combination of two independent, simultaneous motions: constant horizontal velocity and vertical acceleration due to gravity.He emphasizes that the horizontal motion does not affect the vertical motion, resulting in a parabolic trajectory, which he demonstrates through, for example, catching a launched ball while moving with the same horizontal velocity.Gravity doesn't care how fast you're moving forward
