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.

Parabolic path


Projectile following a parabolic path on a circle?

A projectile doesn't follow a circular path. It follows a parabolic path. No part of a circle has the same shape as any part of a parabola. They're different curves.


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

The rock follows a parabolic path.


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.


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.

The path of a satellite orbiting the earth is best described as linear hyperbolic parabolic or elliptical?

Elliptical.


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.
