Answer:

Parabolic

Step-by-step explanation:

The projectile motion is the example of two dimensional motion under the influence of gravity.

The general equation of projectile motion is

y = x tan theta - gx^2/ 2u^2 cos^theta

It is the quadratic equation in x which shows that it is the equation of a parabola.
