None - as long as the ouliers move away from the median - which they should.
How long does it take to answer. I was hoping for an example right away...
The force of the curvature of the Earth, along with gravity is known as the Coriolis effect. How this would effect any long range projectile (bullets, missiles, etc.) is that it will change the path of flight. Meaning, that gravity will slowly pull the projectile down onto the surface. While the downward pull isn't at dramatic as it is for the missile (due to its constant propulsion), the curvature of the earth is VERY important. This is because you have to take in the total distance the missile is to travel in order to his its intended target. The curvature of the Earth (if the target is far enough) will not only obstruct the line of sight (especially if the target is say in another country, or a few miles away), shooting straight would be out of the question. All this, due to the curvature, this, in turn, requires missiles to be shot up, and then come down onto the target in a pyramid shape... hope this helps... oh, and to actually answer your question. The curvature of the Earth changes the time of flight on a missile because it forces us to launch the missile upwards first, then downwards. The flight path of a missile is, therefore, increased.
Field target archery is when your in a field and your a long distance away from the target and 3D archery is like doing archery inside.
A ballistic missile is a term that defines a missile's flight path. There are two types of flight paths as far as missiles are concerned: approach angle control and ballistic. A ballistic flight path describes a missile that is launched to a high altitude and adjusts itself to "fall" onto the target. That is how ballistic missiles are capable of such long attack distances. They fly high into the air and, depending how far the target is, either drop on top of it or simply glide to it. Approach angle control describes a missile that reaches it's target under it's own power. Meaning, it's fuel is pushing the missile all the way until detonation. This differs from a ballistic flight path because, generally speaking, a ballistic missiles booster fuel is used up completely by the time it reaches it's apex of it's flight. Hope that answers your question.

Missiles don't generally "go around the earth." A missile is an object shot by someone at someone else. If you're asking how long it might take for a missile to travel to a target -- e.g. from the former Soviet Union to the United States -- the answer is roughly half an hour. That estimate could go up or down, depending on source and target locations. If you're asking how long it might take for a space vehicle to complete an orbit of the earth, that depends too on a number of variables. As an example, a vehicle at an altitude of 200 miles and traveling at 17,000 mph relative to the earth's surface would complete one orbit in about 98 minutes.
No it wasn't. V-2 was first true long range ballistic missile. As such it was following a ballistic curve without any kind of in-flight course corrections. Keep in mind missile's motor only burned for about a minut and after that missile continued its free flight. Much like a stone you throw with your hand. Like the stone, the missile aiming had to be done in advance. There was however a proposed manned V-2 version with a brace of small wings which would help the missile to exdend its range gliding towards its target at a shallow angle. It never progressed beyond design stage however.
ICBMs can cross continents!
Long Range Missile
The Romans created the first ballista. It looked like a very large cross bow. It throws things a long way (relatively). A ballistic missile throws itself. An anti-ballistic missile throws itself at the incoming ballistic missile.
Missile commands are send from transmitter after up-conversion of these commands so that they can travel long distances without any distortions and once they are received by missiles...the give deflections to missile control surfaces so as to match it with required change in it's attitude as per the requirements of missile guidance required.
In April 2009, they shot "TD-2" ICBM (inter-continental ballistic missile). Since then they have a new long range missile shot in January of 2010.
