The parabola, for example, has been used to approximate projectile trajectories. The hyperbola arises in biochemistry in enzyme kinetics. You must have seen numerous applications of the circle. There are many more uses for these mathematical objects.

Why are conic section called conic sections?

Circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas are called conic sections because they can be obtained as a intersection of a plane with a double- napped circular cone. If the plane passes through vertex of the double-napped cone, then the intersection is a point, a pair of straight lines or a single line. These are called degenerate conic sections. Because they are sections of a cone or a cone shaped object.
