Question

what is the shape of the path of any projectile? hypotenuse hyperbola parabola diagonal

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When an object is projected near the Earth's surface under the influence of gravity (assuming no air - resistance or other external forces), its path is a parabola. This is because the horizontal motion is a uniform - motion (constant velocity) and the vertical motion is a uniformly - accelerated motion (due to gravity).

Answer:

Parabola
