  2. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    The surface of the projectile also must be considered: a smooth projectile will face less air resistance than a rough-surfaced one, and irregularities on the surface of a projectile may change its trajectory if they create more drag on one side of the projectile than on the other. However, certain irregularities such as dimples on a golf ball ...

    Projectile motion is a form of motion ... In the particular case of projectile motion on Earth, most calculations assume the effects ... Free body diagram of a body ...

  4. External ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics

    A projectile following a ballistic trajectory has both forward and vertical motion. Forward motion is slowed due to air resistance, and in point mass modeling the vertical motion is dependent on a combination of the elevation angle and gravity. Initially, the projectile is rising with respect to the line of sight or the horizontal sighting plane.

  5. Parabola of safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola_of_safety

    The paraboloid of revolution obtained by rotating the safety parabola around the vertical axis is the boundary of the safety zone, consisting of all points that cannot be hit by a projectile shot from the given point with the given speed.

  6. Projectile - Wikipedia

    In projectile motion the most important force applied to the ‘projectile’ is the propelling force, in this case the propelling forces are the muscles that act upon the ball to make it move, and the stronger the force applied, the more propelling force, which means the projectile (the ball) will travel farther. See pitching, bowling.

  7. Trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory

    Assume the motion of the projectile is being measured from a free fall frame which happens to be at (x,y) = (0,0) at t = 0. The equation of motion of the projectile in this frame (by the equivalence principle) would be = ⁡ ().

  8. Ballistic coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient

    The standard model projectile is a "fictitious projectile" used as the mathematical basis for the calculation of actual projectile's trajectory when an initial velocity is known. The G1 model projectile adopted is in dimensionless measures of 2 caliber radius ogival-head and 3.28 caliber in length.

  9. Time of flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_flight

    In kinematics, ToF is the duration in which a projectile is traveling through the air. Given the initial velocity u {\displaystyle u} of a particle launched from the ground, the downward (i.e. gravitational) acceleration a {\displaystyle a} , and the projectile's angle of projection θ (measured relative to the horizontal), then a simple ...
