Is it true or false that a cannon ball rolling down a slope is considered a projectile?

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).

The force of gravity on a projectile in motion is considered positive.?
false
Is the force of gravity on a projectile in motion is considered positive.?
false
Is it true or false that an object projectile motion is constant motion?
False. First it accelerates and at a certain point speed decreases till the projectile bursts or stops somewhere.
A car driving around a track is an example of projectile motion?
The answer is False
True or false the motion of an object thrown at an angle is projectile motion?
True
Is the force of gravity on a projectile in motion is considered positive.?
false
The force of gravity on a projectile in motion is considered positive.?
false
True or false The components of projectile motion affect each other?
false
A car driving around a track is an example of projectile motion?
The answer is False
Is it true or false that an object projectile motion is constant motion?
False. First it accelerates and at a certain point speed decreases till the projectile bursts or stops somewhere.
Is projectile motion a motion in one-dimension-the direction of gravity?
No. Neglecting air resistance, the projectile follows a parabola. The horizontal distance is proportional to 'time', and the vertical distance is proportional to 'time squared'. This is exactly the description of a parabola.
Car driving around a track is an example of projectile motion.?
False.
True or false Projectiles always have a pointed shape?
False, a projectile is simply something that flies through the air irrespective of its shape. A football is a projectile. footballs are pointed though. Think: NERF bullets.
True or false Because of earths gravitational pull and their own inertia projectiles travel in a straight path?
False Because gravity is constantly pulling on the projectile while the projectile is trying to move forward in a straight line, the projectile will move in a CURVED path and fall down to earth.
True or false the motion of an object thrown at an angle is projectile motion?
True
An object being swung in circles on the end of rope is an example of projectile motion.?
False
An air hockey puck bouncing off the sides of the table is an example of projectile motion.?
No. The definition of projectile motion is an object dropped launched into the air, which is acted upon by gravity. (For the basic forms of the motion, air resistance is ignored.)
