Projectiles are objects that are propelled through the air or through a medium, typically under the influence of gravity. The term is commonly used in physics and engineering to refer to any object that is launched, thrown, or otherwise set into motion. Projectiles can include a wide range of items, from bullets and shells to sports balls and rockets. The motion of a projectile is typically analyzed using the principles of mechanics, particularly kinematics and dynamics.
