A projectile effect refers to the physical phenomenon of an object being launched into the air and following a curved path before eventually hitting a target. This effect is governed by principles of physics, such as gravity and air resistance. Projectile effects are commonly studied in fields such as physics, engineering, and ballistics.
Yes, air resistance (also known as drag) does have an effect on a projectile's motion. It opposes the projectile's motion, slowing it down and causing it to lose kinetic energy. This can alter the trajectory and distance traveled by the projectile.
The mass of a projectile has no direct effect on its horizontal motion in projectile motion. However, a heavier mass may affect the projectile's vertical motion by influencing factors such as initial velocity, air resistance, and gravity, which can impact its trajectory.
-- Gravity causes the vertical component of projectile motion to vary according to the local acceleration of gravity. -- Gravity has no effect at all on the horizontal component of projectile motion.
Air friction acts as a resistive force on a projectile, slowing it down and reducing its speed. This can cause the projectile to deviate from its intended path and fall short of its target as the air friction dissipates its kinetic energy. The magnitude of the effect depends on factors such as the projectile's speed, shape, and surface area.

Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object moving through a gravitational field, such as a ball thrown in the air. The Magnus effect, on the other hand, is a phenomenon where a spinning object experiences a sideways force perpendicular to its direction of motion, affecting its trajectory. In essence, projectile motion is a general term for the motion of objects in a gravitational field, while the Magnus effect is a specific effect caused by rotation.
A projectile effect can be a hazard in situations where objects are launched or thrown with force, potentially causing harm to people nearby. For example, in industrial settings where machinery may eject materials at high speeds, or in sports where equipment like balls or pucks can be propelled with force, there is a risk of injury from projectile effects.

By statistical analysis. It is very difficult to calculate these using mechanics. Calculations of the trajectory of a projectile assume that the mass of the projectile is such that air resistance has a negligible effect. This is not the case when the projectile is confetti - even if it is packed densely to start with.

45 degrees to the horizontal will give the maximum flight time for a projectile. If a projectile was fired at 90 degrees to the horizontal, (straight upwards) the projectile will go straight upwards (ignoring the shape, form and aerodynamic properties of the projectile). Likewise if you were to fire a projectile at 0 degrees to the horizontal, the projectile would follow said course, IF gravity was not in effect; a projectile needs some form of vertical velocity to overcome gravity. Hence why 45 degrees will give you the longest distance and consequently flight time.
Yes throwing of a dart is an example of a projectile, as the dart is being thrown under constant acceleration due to gravity. However the effect isn't significant as the time of exposure isn't quite substantial.
-- In the absence of air resistance, the object's diameter has no effect at all on the projectile motion. -- In the presence of air resistance, one has to know everything about the object AND the air in order to have a prayer of calculating the effect.
