  2. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy_weapon

    Sample from a kinetic energy weapon test. A piece of polycarbonate plastic weighing 7 grams ( 1 ⁄ 4 oz) was fired at an aluminium block at 7 km/s (23,000 ft/s), giving it muzzle energy of 171,500 J (126,500 ft⋅lbf); a typical bullet has muzzle energy of a few thousand joules, with the enormous .950 JDJ reaching 20,000 J (15,000 ft⋅lbf).

  4. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-portable_anti-tank_systems

    Man-portable anti-tank systems (MANPATS or MPATS) are traditionally portable shoulder-launched projectile systems firing heavy shell-type projectiles (although throwing and lunge weapons have existed), typically designed to combat protected targets, such as armoured vehicles, field fortifications and at times even low-flying aircraft (especially helicopters).

  7. Kinetic bombardment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment

    In the 1980s, another kinetic swarm system was conceptualized as a potential part of the Strategic Defense Initiative, there codenamed Brilliant Pebbles. [6] [7] Project Thor was an idea for a weapons system that launches telephone pole-sized kinetic projectiles made from tungsten from Earth's orbit to damage targets on the ground.

  8. High–low system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High–low_system

    The high–low system (or high–low pressure system, high–low propulsion system, high–low projection system) is a design of cannon and anti-tank warfare launcher using a smaller high-pressure chamber to store propellant. It allows a much larger projectile to be launched without the heavy equipment usually needed for large caliber weapons.

  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]
