  2. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    The range and the maximum height of the projectile do not depend upon its mass. Hence range and maximum height are equal for all bodies that are thrown with the same velocity and direction. The horizontal range d of the projectile is the horizontal distance it has traveled when it returns to its initial height ( y = 0 {\textstyle y=0} ).

  3. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    The path of this projectile launched from a height y 0 has a range d.. In physics, a projectile launched with specific initial conditions will have a range.It may be more predictable assuming a flat Earth with a uniform gravity field, and no air resistance.

  4. Trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory

    To find the angle giving the maximum height for a given speed calculate the derivative of the maximum height = ⁡ / with respect to , that is = ⁡ ⁡ / which is zero when = / =. So the maximum height H m a x = v 2 2 g {\displaystyle H_{\mathrm {max} }={v^{2} \over 2g}} is obtained when the projectile is fired straight up.

  5. External ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics

    Another feature of projectile design that has been identified as having an effect on the unwanted limit cycle yaw motion is the chamfer at the base of the projectile. At the very base, or heel of a projectile or bullet, there is a 0.25 to 0.50 mm (0.01 to 0.02 in) chamfer, or radius.

  6. Parabola of safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola_of_safety

    Maximum height can be calculated by absolute value of in standard form of parabola. It is given as H = | c | = u 2 2 g {\displaystyle H=|c|={\frac {u^{2}}{2g}}} Range ( R {\displaystyle R} ) of the projectile can be calculated by the value of latus rectum of the parabola given shooting to the same level.

  7. Projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile

    Maximum Height (): this is the maximum height attained by the projectile OR the maximum displacement on the vertical axis (y-axis) covered by the projectile. It is given as H = U 2 sin 2 ⁡ θ / 2 g {\displaystyle H=U^{2}\sin ^{2}\theta /2g} .

  8. Escape velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity

    Escape speed at a distance d from the center of a spherically symmetric primary body (such as a star or a planet) with mass M is given by the formula [2] [3] = = where: G is the universal gravitational constant (G ≈ 6.67 × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2 ‍ [4])

  9. File:Ideal projectile motion for different angles.svg - Wikipedia

    English: Trajectories of projectiles launched at different elevation angles and a speed of 10 m/s. A vacuum and a uniform downward gravity field of 10 m/s² is assumed. t = time from launch, T = time of flight, R = range and H = highest point of trajectory (indicated by arrows).
