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. The position vector of car w.r.t. its starting point is given as vec(r)=at hat(i)- bt^(2) hat(j) where a and b are positive constants. The locus of a particle is:-
