Why do objects that are thrown or shot follow a curved path?

Physics

It is due to the plurality of forces enacted on them. For example a bullet, if fired from a firearm, will move forward due to force from the gun, will slow down due to drag from air resistance, and will move downwards due to gravitational force. All these forces culminate in a parabolic (curved) path.

Which explains upwelling in the oceans?
Leokris [45]

Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”

Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.

Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity.  Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.

The given function represents the position of a particle traveling along a horizontal line. s(t) = 2t3 − 3t2 − 36t + 6 for t ≥ 0
igor_vitrenko [27]

1) The velocity of the particle is given by the derivative of the position. So, if we derive s(t), we get the velocity of the particle as a function of the time:

v(t)=s'(t)=(2t^3-3t^2-36t+6)'=6t^2-6t-36

2) The acceleration of the particle is given by the derivative of the velocity. So, if we derive v(t), we get the acceleration of the particle as a function of the time:

a(t)=v'(t)=(6t^2-6t-36)'=12t-6
