Ballistic trajectory
Storyboard
If an object is thrown or fired in a gravitational field, it undergoes two types of motion:
• In the vertical axis, it moves due to the gravitational field, experiencing gravitational acceleration. For low-height trajectories, this acceleration can be considered constant.
• In the horizontal axis, assuming air resistance is negligible, the object moves at a constant velocity because there is no force to accelerate or decelerate it.
The result is what is known as a ballistic trajectory, which achieves its maximum range when thrown or fired at a 45-degree angle.
