  • The image displays two parabolic curves, both starting from a common vertical line at the bottom center.
  • These curves illustrate projectile trajectories, suggesting the path of an object launched from the vertical line.
  • The smaller angle, labeled δ₁, corresponds to the trajectory that rises less steeply and appears to land closer to the vertical line.
  • The larger angle, labeled δ₂, corresponds to the trajectory that rises more steeply and reaches a greater distance from the vertical line.
  • The context suggests that for a given speed and target location, two different angles, δ₁ and δ₂, will reach the target.
