Notes on Projectile MotionIf we throw a ball at angle to the horizon randomly, what is the expected length of the trajectory? Catalan's constant appears in the answer. We are also interested in the expected average speed of the ball.
When the actuation moment of the canards was sufficiently large, it was shown to adversely affect the oscillatory motion of the projectile, leading to ballistic instability. Chang [ 56] has studied the dynamic response of a dual-spin, canard-stabilised projectile, when the coupling between ...
