Answer:

4. Parabola

Explanation:

The motion of the flight of the grenade is a projectile motion, it's shape is best illustrated using a parabolic diagram.

It's not a circle as the path is not totally round.

It's not an ellipse as the path of motion is not a a completely bounded shape.

Its not a hyperbola as a hyperbola is an open curve with two branches.

Its a parabolic shape because a parabola has just one branch

# 5 what will most likely happen when an air mas of low temperature exists above a water body at a higher temperature?
laila [671]
Answer: Heat will transfer from the water to the air. When a mass of air moves on a warmer surface it is heated by its base. Then thermal instability develops in the lower layers and then extends upwards. If the air initially contained inversions, these are destroyed and a strong gradient is established uniformly in the lower troposphere temperature.
