Projectile motion can be seen almost anywhere - even Millennium Park. This is a picture of the Crown Fountain in Chicago. The towers are fifty feet tall and has slits for drainage to drain up to 11520 US gallons of water per minute. The water is flitered, pumped, and recirculated through the fountain. Mathematicians describe the shape of a projectile motion as a parabola. The shape of the water spewting out of the Crown Fountain is definitely an accurate portrayal of that shape. This is a photo which captures real life projectile motion.
