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.
