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.

a parabolic path is a path that a ball such as a football or a soccer ball follows when it is kicked, so basically it is a curved path that a projectile goes

Based on the given problem,parabolic and cubic curves are drawn in SFD and BMD.if the given problem has UDL(uniformly distributed load),then we get parbolic curve in BMD.if the given problem contains UVL(uniformly distributed load),then we get parabolic curve in SFD and cubic in BMD.

Can you solve all quadratic equations?

NO!!!! On a graph a quadratic equation becomes a parabolic curve. If this curve intersects the x-axis in two places. then there are two different answers. If the curve just touches the x-axix on one place then there are two answers which both have the same valuer. If the curve does NOT touch the x-axis the there are NO solutions.

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.
