The gravitation forces are what causes the path of a projectile to be curved.
Since I have read that the path of a projectile is always a parabola, I must say no. The parabolic shape of a projectile's path results from the combination of the force and direction with which it is launched and its weight.A ball rolling down a slope, is not Projectile Motion. While a cannon ball can be used to be a projectile, as far as Physics goes, that is not how it is operating at the moment (rolling down a slope).
trajectory
Without air resistance, the path of a projectile over a small part of the Earth's surface, under the influence of gravity alone, is always a piece of a parabola ... as long as it's not launched straight up or straight down.
The curved path is called a trajectory
The path of a projectile is it's trajectory.
The path of a projectile in earth gravity is that of a parabola.

The curved path is called a trajectory
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.
That is often referred to as a trajectory.
