This is the equation of a parabola, so the path is parabolic. The axis of the parabola is vertical. If the projectile's position (x,y) and launch angle (θ or α) are known, the initial velocity can be found solving for v 0 in the afore-mentioned parabolic equation:
The green path in this image is an example of a parabolic trajectory. A parabolic trajectory is depicted in the bottom-left quadrant of this diagram, where the gravitational potential well of the central mass shows potential energy, and the kinetic energy of the parabolic trajectory is shown in red. The height of the kinetic energy decreases ...
Thus the reorganization energy for chemical redox reactions, which is a Gibbs free energy, is also a parabolic function of Δe of this hypothetical transfer, For the self exchange reaction, where for symmetry reasons Δe = 0.5, the Gibbs free energy of activation is ΔG(0) ‡ = λ o /4 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 intersection of the parabolas I and ...
The Feynman–Kac formula, named after Richard Feynman and Mark Kac, establishes a link between parabolic partial differential equations and stochastic processes.In 1947, when Kac and Feynman were both faculty members at Cornell University, Kac attended a presentation of Feynman's and remarked that the two of them were working on the same thing from different directions.

A trajectory or flight path is the path that an object with mass in motion follows through space as a function of time. In classical mechanics , a trajectory is defined by Hamiltonian mechanics via canonical coordinates ; hence, a complete trajectory is defined by position and momentum , simultaneously.
The paraboloid of revolution obtained by rotating the safety parabola around the vertical axis is the boundary of the safety zone, consisting of all points that cannot be hit by a projectile shot from the given point with the given speed.
Such a branch is called a parabolic branch, even when it does not have any parabola that is a curvilinear asymptote. If Q x ′ ( b , a ) = Q y ′ ( b , a ) = P n − 1 ( b , a ) = 0 , {\displaystyle Q'_{x}(b,a)=Q'_{y}(b,a)=P_{n-1}(b,a)=0,} the curve has a singular point at infinity which may have several asymptotes or parabolic branches.
In the field of computational chemistry, energy minimization (also called energy optimization, geometry minimization, or geometry optimization) is the process of finding an arrangement in space of a collection of atoms where, according to some computational model of chemical bonding, the net inter-atomic force on each atom is acceptably close to zero and the position on the potential energy ...
