  • A parabolic curve represents the path of a projectile launched over a horizontal surface.
  • The vertical dimension labeled \(H\) indicates the maximum height achieved by the projectile.
  • A vertical dashed line marks the horizontal position corresponding to the height \(H\) at an initial range \(X_1\).
  • A second vertical dashed line marks the horizontal position corresponding to the same height \(H\) at a final range \(X_2\), showing symmetry around the peak of the trajectory.
