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.


What conservation of momentum use in ballistic test?

In ballistic tests, conservation of momentum is used to analyze the motion of projectiles before and after impact, allowing for calculations of velocity, mass, and direction of projectiles. By applying the principle that the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant before and after a collision, ballistic tests can provide crucial information for forensic investigations and ballistics analysis.


What is ballistic spin drift?

Ballistic spin drift is the tendency of a spinning projectile (such as a bullet) to drift slightly to the side due to the gyroscopic effect created by its spin. This effect influences the trajectory of the projectile and can cause it to deviate from its intended path at longer ranges. Shooters need to account for ballistic spin drift when calculating their shots for increased accuracy.
