Abstract

Analytical forms for the envelopes of trajectories for particles radially ejected from a moving source in uniform gravity are derived. These results generalize Torricelli's (safety) parabola for ballistic problems. As a motivating scenario we consider the spherical case shot, later named the shrapnel shell. Several cases that illustrate interesting features of the problem are presented along with an example inspired by the spherical case shot. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
