  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 ( y = 0 {\textstyle y=0} ).

  4. 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.

  5. 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 y = x tan ⁡ ( θ ) {\displaystyle y=x\tan(\theta )} .

  6. Ballistic missile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_missile

    A ballistic missile is a type of missile that uses projectile motion to deliver warheads on a target. These weapons are powered only during relatively brief periods—most of the flight is unpowered. Short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) typically stay within the Earth's atmosphere, while most

  7. Projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile

    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.

  8. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said a short-range projectile was behind the killing of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh and accused the United States of supporting the attack which it blamed on ...

  9. Internal ballistics - Wikipedia

    This graph shows different pressure curves for powders with different burn rates. The leftmost graph is the same as the large graph above. The middle graph shows a powder with a 25% faster burn rate, and the rightmost graph shows a powder with a 20% slower burn rate. Energy is the ability to do work on an object. Work is force applied over a ...
