When a stone is thrown by making some angle with the horizontal line, it follows a parabolic path
and come back to the ground. The figure will be as follows.
This figure shows different positions of the object thrown.
When xi = 0 and ax = 0, we find
So we can write, t = x/(vi cos θi) For yi = 0 and ay
= -g we get,
Substituting the expression of ‘t’ we obtain
This equation is the equation of a parabola, which shows that the
path of a projectile is parabolic
in nature.
