projectile

Examples of projectile in the following topics:

• Scientific Applications of Quadratic Functions

  • The maximum height of a projectile launched directly upwards can also be calculated from a quadratic relationship.
  • The same maximum height of a projectile launched directly upwards can be found using the time at the projectile's peak ($t_h$):

• Applications of the Parabola

  • The parabolic trajectory of projectiles was discovered experimentally in the 17th century by Galileo, who performed experiments with balls rolling on inclined planes.
