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...
A ballistic missile is a long-range weapon that follows a ballistic trajectory when launched, typically high into the atmosphere before descending to its target. These missiles can carry conventional or nuclear warheads and are capable of striking targets hundreds or thousands of kilometers away. They are used for military purposes, such as deterrence, defense, and offense.
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.
A missile is a self-propelled weapon designed to be launched at a target. It typically carries an explosive payload and is guided by a system that directs it to its intended destination. Missiles are used in military applications for purposes such as defense, offense, and strategic deterrence.
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.
name of the site of the first u.s. long range missile squadron
The time it takes for a missile to travel around the Earth would depend on its speed. For example, a missile travelling at a speed of 10,000 km/h would take around 24 hours to circumnavigate the circumference of the Earth, which is approximately 40,075 km.
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.
Long Range Missile
ICBMs can cross continents!
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.
