Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle (a projectile) that is projected in a gravitational field, such as from Earth's...

influence of gravity and air resistance. Although any objects in motion through space are projectiles, they are commonly found in warfare and sports (for example...

close approximation of actual projectile motion in cases where the distances travelled are small. Ideal projectile motion is also a good introduction to...

Newton's second law of motion: force equals mass times acceleration, for such situations. The ideal case of motion of a projectile in a uniform gravitational...

difficulty explaining projectile motion. Aristotle divided motion into two types: "natural" and "violent". The "natural" motion of terrestrial solid matter...

baseball) is a projectile, the term most commonly refers to a ranged weapon. Mathematical equations of motion are used to analyze projectile trajectory.[citation...

A ballistic missile (BM) is a type of missile that uses projectile motion to deliver warheads on a target. These weapons are powered only during relatively...

closely bound to Lombard; for example he incidentally theorises on projectile motion, views now thought to be taken from Richard Rufus of Cornwall. He...

Although projectiles are commonly used in human conflict, projectile use by organisms other than humans is relatively rare. Most projectiles used by terrestrial...

from this buoyancy causes the body's natural motion, that projectile motion (distinct from natural motion) is believed to be the result of an impressed...
