An object in projectile motion will follow which path?

curved down toward the ground

Explanation:

A projectile movement is a movement composed of a horizontal movement and a vertical movement. According to Galileo, if an object presents a compound movement, each of the component movements is performed as if the others did not exist and in the same interval of time. This is the principle of simultaneity.

When an object is cast horizontally, it describes a parabolic movement in relation to the Earth. Accordingly, we can conclude that an object in projectile motion will follow a curved path to the ground.

we have been given a quadratic function and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

we know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

further, we know that range of this function is .

if we restrict the domain of this function to either or , it will become one to one function.

let us know find its inverse.

upon interchanging x and y, we get:

let us now solve this function for y.

hence, the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain of original function to and the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain to .
