The study of gunshots and bullets is called ballistics.
Ballistics is the scientific study of the motion, behavior, and effects of projectiles, such as bullets, missiles, or rockets. It involves analyzing factors like trajectory, impact, and penetration to understand how these projectiles behave in flight and upon impact with a target. Ballistics is important in fields such as firearms forensics, military tactics, and engineering.
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.
The study of heat is called thermodynamics, while the study of light is called optics.
Arrow dynamics refer to the study of how arrows interact with air, including factors like flight characteristics, stability, and drag. This field of study is important in sports like archery and in the design of projectiles for efficiency and accuracy.
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.
The term itself means the study of the motion of projectiles, or the science of designing projectiles for maximum peformance.

projectiles can be fin or spin stabilized
Shrapnel invented the type of artillery shell that has weak seams in between thicker sections so that when the shell burst it broke in the right places to form many projectiles. Prior to this the shells had uniform thickness so the number and size of the projectiles could not be accurately predicted before detonation. Basically it can kill more people because it has more projectiles when it detonates. For this reason most projectiles formed after detonation are called shrapnel in the creators name.
