The maximum speed of a fired projectile, unless fired downward in a vacuum, is the muzzle velocity - this is when the propulsive acceleration ceases. Ignoring air resistance, the projectile would maintain its horizontal velocity, while gravity would first reduce then restore the vertical component.

Terminal velocity, the maximum possible atmospheric speed, is determined by mass, gravity, air density, and projectile shape, as gravitic acceleration is slowed by air resistance.

What is mathematics shot discreption?

A shot is a projectile. That is, a massive body that is launched with an input of force but which, unlike a rocket, has no further energy input. In mechanics, its trajectory is usually calculated on the assumption that the only force acting on the projectile, after its launch, is the force of gravity. That is, aerodynamics do not play a part.


Projectile following a parabolic path on a circle?

A projectile following a parabolic path on a circle can be understood as the motion of an object launched at an angle along the circumference of the circle. As the object moves, gravity causes it to follow a parabolic trajectory while the curvature of the circle influences its path. The resulting motion combines the circular motion of the circle with the parabolic motion of the projectile.


How does ballistic refer to projectile motion?

The term ballistic refers to the trajectory or path taken by a projectile. Normally it refers to that part of a projectiles flight that is unpowered and unguided except by the forces of gravity and (if applicable) air resistance.
