Projectile Motion of a Stone
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
“[This illustration] shows the path of a stone thrown obliquely from the hand. The propelling force sends it in a straight line to A, and would take it on in the same direction to B, were it not that, as soon as its velocity becomes sufficiently diminished, gravity and the air’s resistance give it a circular motion to C, and finally bring it to the earth at D.” —Quackenbos 1859
