A projectile may be the word you are looking for.
Acceleration
Centripetal Force
Projectile motion
In the absence of air and neglecting the Earth's curvature, the path would be part of a perfect parabola.
If there's no influence from air resistance, then the path of a "projectile" is a parabola. That's what you get when one component of velocity is constant and its other (orthogonal) component is accelerated.
Projectile motion is a form of motion in which an object or particle is thrown near the earth's surface, and it moves along a curved path.
Actually, if you were to ask a Gunners Mate in the Navy, he'd tell you that the curved path of an object thrown is called a trajectory. And in a practical case, trajectories are not parabolic when traveled in a gas, like our atmosphere. They are parabolic if and only if the objects are not also acted on by drag and angular momentum forces. And any good curve ball pitcher in baseball can prove that.
