Why do balls bounce in a parabola?

Answer 1

because:

* the force of gravity is constant and downward * the acceleration due to gravity is therefore a result of the square of time * horizontal acceleration is zero so the horizontal velocity is constant * y=vyt -at2 x=vxt all this makes a parabola that opens downwards.

Answer 2

Balls bounce in a parabolic shape due to the influence of gravity and the initial velocity imparted to the ball. When the ball is thrown or dropped, it follows a curved trajectory as it rises and falls back down, creating a parabolic path.
