Describe why a projectile follows a curved path

Projectile: Object that moves horizontally or at an angle to the Earth's surface. parabolic: The shape of the curved path of a projectile. air resistance: A force of friction produced when an object moves through the air.
So essentially when the projectile moves the air resistance causes the projectile to follow the parabolic, or the curved path.

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4
