How wind force affect projectile velocity?
what is the equation of projectile motion velocity x & y with
wind force effect?
The force of gravity caused our projectile to move in an arc on the screen. Wind, on the other hand, can be considered a constant acceleration in the X direction (assuming it is simply blowing left or right with no up or down-drafts). A wind blowing to the left would be a negative X acceleration, and wind blowing to the right would be a positive X acceleration.
The wind can have a powerful affect on the velocity and trajectory of a projectile. Consider the following illustration of a paper airplane in flight:
