What is a Projectile?


What is considered a projectile?

                                                           
   Is it a bird?                        Is it a plane?                      Is it Superman?

The answer is 'NO' to all of these.  In physics a projectile is considered something moving through the air given some initial push or toss, but after that has no means to keep itself in the air on its own.
