3.3: Projectile Motion - Physics LibreTexts
Projectile motion is a form of motion where an object moves in a parabolic path. The path followed by the object is called its trajectory. Projectile motion occurs when a force is applied at the beginning of the trajectory for the launch (after this the projectile is subject only to the gravity).
Projectile - Wikipedia
A projectile being fired from an artillery piece. A projectile is an object that is propelled by the application of an external force and then moves freely under the influence of gravity and air resistance.
5.3 Projectile Motion - Physics - OpenStax
Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown (projected) into the air when, after the initial force that launches the object, air resistance is negligible and the only other force that object experiences is the force of gravity.
What is a Projectile? - The Physics Classroom
A projectile is an object upon which the only force is gravity. Once projected, its horizontal motion is explained by the law of inertia and its vertical motion is explained by the presence of gravity as an unbalanced, vertical force.
Projectile motion - Wikipedia
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.
Projectiles – The Physics Hypertextbook
A projectile is any object with an initial non-zero, horizontal velocity whose acceleration is due to gravity alone. An essential characteristic of a projectile is that its future has already been preordained.
4.4: Projectile Motion - Physics LibreTexts
Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject only to acceleration as a result of gravity. The applications of projectile motion in physics and engineering are numerous.
3.4: Projectile Motion - Physics LibreTexts
Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity. The object is called a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory.
