  2. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    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 surface, and moves along a curved path (a trajectory) under the action of gravity only.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Bouncing ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncing_ball

    The motion of a bouncing ball obeys projectile motion. [2] [3] Many forces act on a real ball, namely the gravitational force (F G), the drag force due to air resistance (F D), the Magnus force due to the ball's spin (F M), and the buoyant force (F B). In general, one has to use Newton's second law taking all forces into account to analyze the ...

  7. 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.

  8. 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]

  9. Jurin's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurin's_Law

    Jurin's law, or capillary rise, is the simplest analysis of capillary action—the induced motion of liquids in small channels [1] —and states that the maximum height of a liquid in a capillary tube is inversely proportional to the tube's diameter.
