There is always a horizontal component, although one isn't really necessary. Even if there was, by the way, the Newtonian physics demand the path will cross the starting point, and the implication to most readers would be that was on a surface. If there's a surface in the way, the starting point and ending point will be different. Care to write an equation or two to demonstrate that? It's a two body problem, one massive with respect to the other. The initial conditions are a vertical impulse from the surface, of a massive sphere. That's high school physics. |

Read the post -- it specified vertical. It may be your concept of
vertical is different than the one commonly accepted. If your throw was vertical you had aerodynamic effects, disallowed earlier in your earlier post. I would have suspected you did finish high school some time ago. That you have forgotten what you learned is obvious.
