Projectiles, Projectile Motion, TrajectoryDefinition of Projectile
A projectile is a moving object that has only one force acting upon it: the force of gravity.
Definition of Projectile Motion
Projectile motion usually refers to the trajectory (path) followed by a projectile. Projectile motion may also refer to the kinematic characteristics of a projectile, such as its displacement, velocity, or acceleration.
Definition of Trajectory
The path or predicted path of a projectile.
