If "a" is negative then the graph is a cap. Find the x intercepts. Average the two x intercepts and substitute that into the equation it will give you the y.

What is parabolic motion?

a parabolic motion is a motion of an object in a curved path when it is launched...


Projectile following a parabolic path on a circle?

A projectile following a parabolic path on a circle can be understood as the motion of an object launched at an angle along the circumference of the circle. As the object moves, gravity causes it to follow a parabolic trajectory while the curvature of the circle influences its path. The resulting motion combines the circular motion of the circle with the parabolic motion of the projectile.


What path does a rock thrown horozontally from a building follow?

The rock follows a parabolic path.


A 0.50kg rock is launched upward with an initial speed of 80.0 meter per second how long will it take for he rock to reach its maximum height?

At the maximum height, the rock's final velocity will be 0 m/s. You can use the kinematic equation v_f = v_i + at to find the time it takes for the rock to reach its maximum height. Rearranging the equation to solve for time t, where a is the acceleration due to gravity, you can find the time it takes for the rock to reach its maximum height.


What is a parabolic curve?

A parabolic curve is a curve where any point in the curve is an equal distance from two areas. It is an equal distance away from the focus, or fixed point and the fixed straight line, or the directrix.


What does NOT exhibit parabolic motion?

Objects moving in a straight line or in circular motion do not exhibit parabolic motion. Parabolic motion is characterized by an object following a symmetrical path under the influence of gravity.


A sepak takraw that is kicked from a height of two meters follows a path that is?

parabolic, defined by the shape of a quadratic equation, where the ball's trajectory will form a curve in the shape of an inverted "U." It will reach its peak height midway before descending back to the ground. The path can be calculated using projectile motion equations to determine the distance traveled and time of flight.


Why does a skier follow a parabloic path?

Roughly speaking, ANY object in free fall follows a parabolic path.


What curved path an object follows when thrown?

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.


What path will take if a ball is dropped from a moving train?

The ball will follow a parabolic path due to its horizontal motion with the train and vertical motion due to gravity. It will fall straight down relative to the train, hitting the ground directly below the point where it was released.


What is the path of comet around the sun called?

It is called an orbit. A comet has an eccentric or parabolic orbit.


What energy is acting upon an object traveling in a parabola?

If an object is moving at a constant speed in a gravitational field then its path will be parabolic. For example, if one player throws a ball to another player (and we ignore air resistance) the ball will trace out a parabolic path under the influence of gravity.
