Once the booster falls away, the warhead continues on an unpowered ballistic trajectory, much like an artillery shell or cannon ball.
From the en.wikipedia.org
It takes up a ballistic trajectory that will deliver a reentry vehicle containing a warhead to a target, and then releases a warhead on that trajectory.

More preferable from a strategic point of view is a nuclear weapon mounted onto a missile, which can use a ballistic trajectory to deliver the warhead over the horizon.
From the en.wikipedia.org
It is the speed above which an object will depart on a ballistic trajectory, i.e. in free-fall, and never fall back to the surface nor assume a closed orbit.
From the en.wikipedia.org
