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.

Curved path of an object thrown or launched on or near the surface of a planet?
Projectile motion
The curved path that a satellite follows is a?
the orbit
The curved path of one object around another?
An orbit.
What force pull an object away from the center of a curved path?
Inertia is the "force" that causes an object in a curved path to pull away from the center. Inertia is actually the tendency of anything with mass to resist a change in motion. In other words, an object at rest will not move because of inertia, unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force, and an object in motion will continue to travel at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object traveling in a circular path pulls away from the center because inertia tries to keep the object traveling in a straight line.
The curved path in which a planet revolves around another body?
it is called an orbit. <b> YAYY </b> :]]]]]]]
What causes a thrown object to follow a curved path?
Centripetal Force
What is the curved path an object follows when thrown?
If there's no influence from air resistance, then the path of a "projectile" is a parabola. That's what you get when one component of velocity is constant and its other (orthogonal) component is accelerated.
What is any object that is thrown or and travels in a curved path?
A projectile may be the word you are looking for.
Curved path of an object thrown or launched on or near the surface of a planet?
Projectile motion
Why does an object move faster on a straight path than a curved path?
With a curved path you have to slow down to curve as with a straight path you dont have to slow down you can do as fast as you need to go to get threw it.
What is the curved path an object takes when it is thrown?
In the absence of air and neglecting the Earth's curvature, the path would be part of a perfect parabola.
The curved path that a satellite follows is a?
the orbit
What are the characteristics of a projectile motion?
it follows a curved path
What are the characteristics of projectile motion?
it follows a curved path
What's a Projectile motion?
Projectile motion is a form of motion in which an object or particle is thrown near the earth's surface, and it moves along a curved path.
What is the curved path traveled by a trown baseball is known as?
thrown not trown
Is the path that a thrown objects follows?
projectile motion
