ABSTRACT
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 precessional 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.
