Answer

$y=\frac{b}{2V}x^{3}$

Work Step by Step

Please see the attached image first. We can apply the equation $S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ and apply this to both x, y (+) directions as follows. $\rightarrow S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $x=Vt+0$ $x=Vt$ $t=\frac{x}{V}-(1)$ $\uparrow S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $y=0+\frac{1}{2}a(t)\space t^{2}$ $y=\frac{bt^{3}}{2}-(2)$ $(1)=\gt(2)$ $y=\frac{b}{2}(\frac{x}{V})^{3}$ $y=\frac{b}{2V^{3}}\space x^{3}\space -trajectory\space equation$
