Missile Balistico

A ballistic missile is pushed by an object that describes a rocket motor not orbital trajectory, ie it does not describe an orbit but falls at a point of the body from which it was launched.

The application illustrates with analytical methods, graphics, the numeric flight of a ballistic missile multistage.

Prerequisites to understanding the app are mathematical and physical knowledge imparted in the last years of high school.

The application consists of:

1-Theory of vertical flight ignoring air resistance and gravity with altitude;

2-Theory tilted flight ignoring air resistance and gravity with altitude;

3-Theory of Flight with numerical method, taking into account the air resistance and gravity with altitude;

4-Application of the previous theory to vertical flight;

5-Application of the previous theory inclined to flight.

The application (4 or 5), after entering the characteristics of the missile, the trace diagrams of the acceleration, the speed and the distance traveled as a function of time and determines the kinematic characteristics of flight, ie fixed a certain flight time calculates the acceleration, the speed, and the space traveled at that instant. In addition to the flight inclined track the trajectory followed by the missile.
