Any object upon which the only force acting is that of gravity is called projectile.There could be various examples of a projectile like an object dropped from the rest or an object thrown vertically up or any object projected at some angle with the horizontal.

Yes, It is just a case of vertical projection where angle from horizontal is 90 degrees and motion is under gravity.

An elevator weighs 3000kg. What is its acceleration when the in the tension supporting cable is 33000N. Given that g = 9.8m/s2.
M = 3000 kg g = 9.8 m/s² T = 33000 a = ? Ma = Mg - T 3000 * a = 3000 * 9.8 - 33000 3000a = 29400 - 33000 3000a = - 3600 a = - 1.2 m/s².
