A projectile is any object that is cast, fired, flung, heaved, hurled, pitched, tossed, or thrown. (This is an informal definition.) The path of a projectile is called its trajectory. Some examples of projectiles include …

  • a baseball that has been pitched, batted, or thrown

  • a bullet the instant it exits the barrel of a gun or rifle

  • a bus driven off an uncompleted bridge

  • a moving airplane in the air with its engines and wings disabled

  • a runner in mid stride (since they momentarily lose contact with the ground)

  • the space shuttle or any other spacecraft after main engine cut off (MECO)
