Figure skaters take off and sail through a graceful parabolic curve, spinning as they go.

Hence, matching trajectory data points to a parabolic curve would make sense.

The combination of these two motions results in a parabolic curve.

These shadows will layer on top of a silhouette wall painting that follows the parabolic curves of the hanging sculpture.

These parabolic curves are called profiles of electro-osmotic flow and indicate that the velocity of the particles changed at different depth.
