If we could find a motion with this trajectory for which the normal acceleration is well known,
the radius of curvature could be easily calculated. For a parabolic trajectory the flight of a
projectile offers the required analogue. Let the projectile have an initial velocity of v0 making
an angle a with the horizontal.
The range (d = 120m) and height (h = 40m) of the projectile can be expressed using the initial
data,
 The quotient h/d gives tan α = 4/3 (so α = 53°), and the horizontal component of the initial
velocity is
