Projectile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A projectile is any object propelled through space by the exertion of a force which ceases after launch. Though a thrown baseball could be considered a projectile, the word more often refers to a we...

But first, here is a history of projectile motion; ... Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object projected into the air at an angle. A few examples of this include a soccer ball begin kicked, a baseball begin thrown, or an athlete long jumping. Even fireworks and water fountains are examples of projectile motion.

A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. There are a variety of examples of projectiles. An object dropped from rest is a projectile (provided that the influence of air resistance is negligible).

Java applet: Projectile motion ... This Java applet shows the motion of a projectile. ... The "Reset" button brings the projectile to its initial position. You can start or stop and continue the simulation with the other two buttons. If you choose the option "Slow motion", the movement will be ten times slower.

So in reality we are dealing with two sets of independent equations for the x and y directions and can envision the problem as a superposition of two completely independent motions that together are equivalent to the projectile motion.

This illustration reflects the general opinion of projectile motion before Galileo. The theory was based on Aristotle's views of motion and held that a shot object (a cannon ball, for example) followed a straight line until it "lost its impetus," at which point it fell abruptly to the ground.

Interactive Physics Applets. ... A projectile is any object moving through a space under its own inertia and the only force acting upon the object is gravity. Examples of projectiles include various sports balls thrown through the air and bullets (after it leaves the weapon).
