trajectory

The path of a projectile or other moving body through space.

A chosen or taken course.

A curve that cuts all of a given family of curves or surfaces at the same angle.

The path described by a body moving under the action of given forces; specifically, the curve described by a projectile in its flight through the air. Compare range, 4.

In geometry, a curve which cuts all the curves or surfaces of a given system at a constant angle. When the constant angle is a right angle, the trajectory is called an orthogonal trajectory.

The curve which a body describes in space, as a planet or comet in its orbit, or stone thrown upward obliquely in the air.

The path of a body as it travels through space.

The ordered set of intermediate states assumed by a dynamical system as a result of time evolution.

Metaphorically, a course of development, such as that of a war or career.
