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.

What is meant by parabolic?

In mathematics, a parabolic shape refers to a U-shaped curve that is symmetric around an axis. Parabolic structures often exhibit properties like focusing parallel rays of light to a single point (as in parabolic mirrors) or guiding projectiles (as in parabolic trajectories).


How do you draw parabolic and cubic curves in SFD and BMD?

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.


When is the shape of an position versus time graph parabolic?

If a position versus time graph is parabolic, then:Speed versus time is a straight line.Acceleration (magnitude) vs time is a horizontal line, so the acceleration is constant.The graph of height/time for a stone or a baseballtossed upward is an inverted parabola.
