Where We Use Trajectory?

The trajectory formula is used to find the trajectory or the flight path of a moving object which is moving under the action of gravity. The term trajectory is used for projectiles or heavenly objects. When a stone is thrown in the air, then the parabola is the correct approximation of the path of the projectile.

What is an example of a trajectory?

The definition of a trajectory is the curved path something takes as it moves through space. An example of trajectory is the path taken by a paper airplane as it flies through the air. The curved path of something hurtling through space, esp. that of a projectile from the time it leaves the muzzle of the gun.

How is trajectory important?

It helps to understand and predict an enormous range of phenomena; trajectories are but one example. at every relevant position, there is a way to infer the associated force that would act at that position, say from gravity. Not all forces can be expressed in this way, however.
