  2. 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. The horizontal ranges of a projectile are equal for two complementary angles of ...

  3. 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 (=).

  4. 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.

  5. Trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory

    A trajectory or flight path is the path that an object with mass in motion follows through space as a function of time. In classical mechanics, a trajectory is defined by Hamiltonian mechanics via canonical coordinates; hence, a complete trajectory is defined by position and momentum, simultaneously. The mass might be a projectile or a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics

    For example, if the vertical projectile position over a certain range reach is within the vertical height of the target area the shooter wants to hit, the point of aim does not necessarily need to be adjusted over that range; the projectile is considered to have a sufficiently flat point-blank range trajectory for that particular target.

    Projectile: Full metal projectiles should be made of a material with a very high density, like uranium (19.1 g/cm 3) or lead (11.3 g/cm 3).According to Newton's approximation, a full metal projectile made of uranium will pierce through roughly 2.5 times its own length of steel armor.

  9. Ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistics

    A projectile is any object projected into space (empty or not) by the exertion of a force. Although any object in motion through space (for example a thrown baseball) is a projectile, the term most commonly refers to a weapon. [8] [9] Mathematical equations of motion are used to analyze projectile trajectory. [citation needed]
