Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

"Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle that is thrown near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. This curved path was shown by Galileo to be a parabola." -Wikipedia

The object does not take a parabolic trajectory through the air.
