“…Tartaglia, in Book II of his Nova Scientia, identified this trajectory as two straight line segments linked by a circumference arc, where the first segment represented the projection of the launch, and the last one, in the vertical direction, to the projectile fall (Abattouy, 1996;Hackborn, 2016;Salvia, 2017) [10][11][12]. Galileo, in turn, despite having adhered in De Motu to the image of Tartaglia's trajectory, later in Discorsi and in Dimostrazioni Matematiche intorno a Due Nuove Scienze, modified this conception, stating that the trajectory would be a parabola with deformations, noting that air resistance could not be subject to strong rules (Hackborn, 2016;Salvia, 2017) [11,12]. Newton, on the other hand, in book II of the Principia, stated that for uniform density media the trajectory of projectiles was more similar to a hyperbola than a parabola, to match the vertical asymptote at its end (Hackborn, 2016) [11].…”
