Final answer:
The correct term for an object thrown in the air and falling back down to Earth in a curved path due to gravity is Projectile Motion (C).
Step-by-step explanation:
The term that describes an object thrown in the air that will get brought back down to Earth by gravity in a curved path is C) Projectile Motion. Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity. The object is called a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory. This type of motion is a two-dimensional motion where the only significant force acting on the object is gravity, which pulls it down to Earth, creating a curved path.
Newton's law of universal gravitation, on the other hand, explains the paths of planets moving around the sun and not the motion of objects thrown close to the Earth's surface where they follow a curved trajectory due to gravity.
