WHAT DOES TRAJECTORY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Trajectory

A trajectory is the path that a moving object follows through space as a function of time. The object might be a projectile or a satellite, for example. It thus includes the meaning of orbit—the path of a planet, an asteroid or a comet as it travels around a central mass. A trajectory can be described mathematically either by the geometry of the path, or as the position of the object over time. In control theory a trajectory is a time-ordered set of states of a dynamical system. In discrete mathematics, a trajectory is a sequence of values calculated by the iterated application of a mapping to an element of its source. Illustration showing the trajectory of a bullet fired at an uphill target.
