projectile motion
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.
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).
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.
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 path of a projectile in earth gravity is that of a parabola.

A parabola is the curved path of a projectile is the result of constant motion horizontallt and accelerated motion vertically under the influrnce of gravity.

An object projected by force and continuing in motion by its own inertia.An objectile is a a projectile only when it is in a state of motion,usually it covers a parabola shape path.

Yes.

It's the path the object follows while traveling forward and being affected by gravity. It's usually some kind of a parabola.
