Dynamics Review
Throughout the study of exterior ballistics, dynamics play a great role in the ight of the
projectile. The Coriolis effect in long-range trajectories or the drag changes due to the preces-
sional and nutational motion of the projectile are just two examples of the effect of projectile
body dynamics on ight. We will nd that at least a cursory review of dynamics is essential
to the understanding of projectile motion. Analyzing dynamics of projectile ight is best
approached through the use of vectors and we will begin our review with their study.
A vector is dened as a quantity having a magnitude and a direction. Two vectors ...
