Problem
An object is projected from level ground with an initial speed v0 at an angle θ0 above the horizontal.
(i) Write the expressions for the horizontal displacement x and the vertical displacement y as explicit functions of time t.
(ii) Eliminate the time variable to obtain a single relation between y and x for the motion.
(iii) Identify the geometrical nature of the trajectory from the relation obtained in part (ii) and give one reason for your identification.
