Answer in Physics : Parabolic Motion of Projectiles. A projectile is an object upon which the only force is gravity. Gravity, being a downward force, causes a projectile to accelerate in the downward direction. A parabola is a curve where any point is at an equal distance from: a fixed point (the focus...

From conic section the eccentricity is (e)=1 then it is a parabola. Generally parabola is represent as y^2= 4 ax with origin as a vertex if (y-k)^2=4 a (x-h) here vertex is (h,k).

When you plot a parabolic function on a graph, you get a U shaped like curve (ex - f (x) = x^2 + 3 ). This curve is called a parabola. Parabolas have various aspects related to them like there focus, vertex, etc.

The parabola is defined as the locus of a point which moves so that it is always the same distance from a fixed point (called the focus) and a given line (called the directrix).

A Clock strikes three ( at 3 AM ). And when it does so 3 seconds elapse. How long does it take the clock to strike seven ( at 7 AM )?
Between the three strikes there are 2 intervals, which are each 1.5 seconds long. To strike seven there are 6 intervals. So it will take total 6*1.5 = 9 seconds for seven strikes.
