Projectiles move through the air due to the initial force propelling them, typically provided by a launcher or a person's action. Once in motion, projectiles follow a curved path known as a trajectory, influenced by gravity pulling them downward. Factors like air resistance and the projectile's shape can also affect its movement.
What else can I help you with?
Which would be the best that describes why projectiles move in a curved path?
Projectiles move in a curved path due to a combination of their initial velocity and the acceleration due to gravity. Gravity continuously acts on the projectile, causing it to follow a parabolic trajectory, even if it was given an initial velocity in a straight line.
What are some facts about projectiles?
A projectile is an object that is launched into the air and moves along a curved path under the influence of gravity. The trajectory of a projectile is determined by its initial velocity, angle of launch, and gravitational force acting upon it. Projectiles follow a parabolic path, where the highest point is called the peak or apex. The horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile are independent of each other.
Is it true that projectiles are always affected by centripetal force?
No, projectiles are not always affected by centripetal force. Centripetal force only comes into play when there is circular motion involved. In the case of projectiles, the force of gravity is the dominant force acting on the object.
A device for throwing stones or other projectiles?
A catapult is a device used for throwing stones or other projectiles. It uses tension or torsion to store energy and release it rapidly to propel the object. Catapults were historically used in warfare for sieges or to launch projectiles over walls.
What are the heat proj ectiles?
Heat projectiles are weapons that release projectiles that deal damage through heat or fire. These projectiles typically ignite upon impact, causing burn damage over time to the target. Examples include flamethrowers, incendiary grenades, and fire arrows.
What kind of Engines can move large projectiles?
siege engine which is a catapult...................
Are projectiles always fired from stationary artiarry?
No, for instance a warship can fire on the move.
Which of these is a true statement about projectiles?
projectiles can be fin or spin stabilized

True or false Because of earths gravitational pull and their own inertia projectiles travel in a straight path?
False Because gravity is constantly pulling on the projectile while the projectile is trying to move forward in a straight line, the projectile will move in a CURVED path and fall down to earth.
Is A 38 The Same As A 380?
No. 38 = .357 projectiles; 380 = .355 projectiles from a shorter case
Can projectiles have fins?
Yea, they can.
Are missiles faster than Railgun projectiles?
No. Missiles are pretty fast but Railgun projectiles are much faster than missiles.
What is a projectile?
Projectiles are basically just objects that move through air along a trajectory without a propulsion system. A simpler definition is that projectiles are things that move through air along a curved path without anything to push it forward, like a motor. Examples would be like an eraser that you throw at someone.

What does ballistic mean when referring to bullets?
The term itself means the study of the motion of projectiles, or the science of designing projectiles for maximum peformance.
Heat projectiles specifically designed to attack?
HEAT (high explosive antitank) projectiles are specifically designed to attack armored vehicles.
