As it propagates, it bends so as to form a parabolic arc.

The bombs dropped, almost invisible, lofted toward the revetments on a parabolic arc.

More eyes means better weight and stress distribution throughout the parabolic arc.

Blaise Pascal subsequently used polar coordinates to calculate the length of parabolic arcs.

The grenade sailed in a long parabolic arc, trailing smoke through bright sunlight.

To create a weightless environment, the airplane flies in a six-mile long parabolic arc, first climbing, then entering a powered dive.

The icejammer flounced, flinging itself through the air in long, weightless parabolic arcs.

I wheeled hard to the left and went into the grass, taking the rig in a wide parabolic arc away from the road.

The physics of juggling involves parabolic arcs, speed, velocity, acceleration, air resistance and the force of gravity.
