  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. 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 = ⁡ ().

    --Msittig 04:41, 19 November 2014 (UTC) Reference "maximum distance of the range of a projectile” The formula for angle for max range is incorrect When I used v=146.67 ft/sec, yo=100 feet and g=32.174 ft/sec sq, your formula gives 55.6 degrees and I get 41.3 by iteration though angles of theta I also solved for the Sin(Theta) that macked the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient

    The formula for calculating the ballistic coefficient for small and large arms projectiles only is as follows: = [2] where: C b,projectile, ballistic coefficient as used in point mass trajectory from the Siacci method (less than 20 degrees). [3] m, mass of bullet

  8. Parabola of safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola_of_safety

    In 2D and shooting on a horizontal plane, parabola of safety can be represented by the equation y = u 2 2 g − g x 2 2 u 2 {\displaystyle y={\frac {u^{2}}{2g}}-{\frac {gx^{2}}{2u^{2}}}} where u {\displaystyle u} is the initial speed of projectile and g {\displaystyle g} is the gravitational field.

  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]
