Answer

A plane intersects only one nappe of a double-napped cone, and the plane is not parallel to the generating line of the cone.

Explanation:

Parabola is a symmetrical open plane bend framed by the crossing point of a cone with a plane parallel to its side. The way of a shot affected by gravity in a perfect world takes after a bend of this shape.
