Ballistic Flight Equations Description

A free ballistic flight calculator for your Mac Ballistic Flight Equations is a free and complex calculator that will allow you to solve various equations encountered in ballistic flights.A baseball in flight has no engine to produce continuous thrust and the resulting flight is similar to the flight of shell from a cannon, or a bullet from a gun. This type of flight is called ballistic flight and on this page we present the equations that describe ballistic flight. Ballistic flight only occurs under the ideal conditions that weight is the only force acting on the object. There is no thrust and no aerodynamic drag acting on an object in ballistic flight. Such flight conditions would occur on the Moon, where there is no atmosphere to produce drag.On Earth a baseball generate a moderate amount of aerodynamic drag and the flight path is not strictly ballistic. Ballistic flight is, however, a first approximation to the flight of a baseball. The actual flight equations including drag are much more complex because the drag is constantly changing throughout the flight. Drag depends on the square of the velocity and the velocity changes during the flight. The drag also depends on the air density which is a function of the weather conditions and altitude.For ballistic flight, the ball is normally inclined at some angle to the vertical (or horizontal) as it is launched. We resolve the initial velocity into a vertical component V0 and a horizontal component U0. Requirements: · Java
