  2. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    Projectile motion. Parabolic trajectories of water jets. Components of initial velocity of parabolic throwing. Ballistic trajectories are parabolic if gravity is homogeneous and elliptic if it is radial. Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle (a projectile) that is projected in a gravitational field, such as ...

  3. Monkey and hunter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_and_hunter

    In physics, the monkey and hunter is a hypothetical scenario often used to illustrate the effect of gravity on projectile motion. [1] It can be presented as exercise problem or as a demonstration. The essentials of the problem are stated in many introductory guides to physics. [2] [3] In essence, the problem is as follows:

  4. Bouncing ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncing_ball

    A bouncing ball. The motion is not quite parabolic due to air resistance. The physics of a bouncing ball concerns the physical behaviour of bouncing balls, particularly its motion before, during, and after impact against the surface of another body. Several aspects of a bouncing ball's behaviour serve as an introduction to mechanics in high ...

  5. Classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_mechanics

    Classical mechanics is a physical theory describing the motion of objects such as projectiles, parts of machinery, spacecraft, planets, stars, and galaxies. The development of classical mechanics involved substantial change in the methods and philosophy of physics. [1] The qualifier classical distinguishes this type of mechanics from physics ...

  6. External ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics

    External ballistics or exterior ballistics is the part of ballistics that deals with the behavior of a projectile in flight. The projectile may be powered or un-powered, guided or unguided, spin or fin stabilized, flying through an atmosphere or in the vacuum of space, but most certainly flying under the influence of a gravitational field.

  7. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.
