Projectile
An object that is "projected" or thrown, which has no capacity for self-propulsion
View source
Actual forces on a projectile
Drag
Lift
due to spin
Weight
Wind
View source
A well-hit golf ball travels farther than ideal theory predicts because of
lift
due to spin
View source
Ideal Projectile
The only force is
weight
View source
An ideal projectile trajectory is a
parabola
View source
For a given launch speed, v0, the max range is at θ =
45

position equations to solve for the remaining
two
View source
Acceleration due to gravity
Acts
downward
View source
Projectile motion
The
acceleration
due to
gravity
acts downward
The horizontal velocity is
constant
The vertical velocity is
zero
at the
highest
point of the projectile's flight
View source
