ABSTRACT
Following our procedure of slowly introducing complexity into the description of projectile behavior we shall now develop equations to characterize the remainder of what is known in general as swerve motion. We saw in Chapter 11 that a mass asymmetry can cause projectile motion transverse to the original line of ‘re even in a vacuum. We stated in that section that a dynamic projectile imbalance was more common than a static imbalance but either can actually occur.
