Projectiles

Projectiles are objects that are launched into the air and move under the influence of gravity and other forces. Common examples include bullets, arrows, and sports balls. When thrown, a projectile follows a curved path, known as a trajectory, influenced by its initial speed, angle, and air resistance. The study of projectiles is important in fields like physics, engineering, and sports, helping to predict where they will land and how far they will travel. Understanding these principles enables designers to create better weapons, sports equipment, and even understand natural phenomena like meteorite paths.
