If you fire the cannon with a small charge, the cannonball will go forwards a bit and fall at the same time, making a parabolic path.

They can however trace a parabolic path as they move through a uniform electric field .-- talk ) 12 : 05, 7 November 2008 ( UTC)

As a result it will fall along a parabolic path ( to a very good approximation ) and land on almost exactly the same spot above which it was dropped.
14.
Due to the acceleration of gravity, bombs follow a roughly parabolic path, the steepness being defined by the forward speed of the aircraft at the instant of release.
15.
For example, Newton's law implies that tossed objects follow a parabolic path, and the roots of the corresponding equation correspond to the starting and ending locations of the object.
16.
A spinner will often " buy his wicket " by " tossing one up " ( in a slower, higher parabolic path ) to lure the batsman into making a poor shot.
17.
The center of mass will follow a parabolic path back to Earth, and in that respect the rod will act as if all its mass is located at the center of mass.
18.
:: Shells don't really follow a parabolic path; that's a simplification based on ( 1 ) ignoring air friction and ( 2 ) treating the Earth as flat.
19.
The center of mass of the diver follows a parabolic path in free-fall under the influence of gravity ( ignoring the effects of air resistance, which are negligible at the speeds involved ).
20.
A torpedo is released at a speed greater than 160 knots ( or 300 km / h, 184 mph ) in the air and then follows a parabolic path free-falling to the water.
