Respuesta :
First of all the project motion is in the form of a parabolic path and it is a common practice that a paper airplane always follow a parabolic path, whenever it is thrown in the air, and gravity is acting upon the plane, like any other projectile.
The plane height of the paper as a function of time is given by:
[tex] y = (\frac{1}{2}) (- g) (t ^ 2) + vo * t + yo
[/tex]
Where,
g: acceleration of gravity
t: time
vo: initial speed of the paper plane
me: initial height of the paper plane
Therefore, because the height of the plane as a function of time has a parabolic trajectory, then this is an example of a projectile movement.
Answer:
