Path traced by a moving particle in space is called trajectory of the particle. Shape of trajectiry is decided by the forces acting on the particle. When a coordinate system is associated with a particle motion, the curve equation in which the particle moves [y=f(x)] is called equation of trajectory. It is just giving us the relation among x and y coordinates of the particle i.e. the locus of particle. To find equation of trajectory of a particle, find first x and y coordinates of the particle as a function of time eliminate the time factor. In above question initial acceleration (i.e. (d^(2)vec(r))/(dt^(2))) of particle is, if r =at i ^ −bt 2 j ^:-
