Hello,
The curve is a parabola. A good way to explain this curve is hold the ends of a rope and let it be slack (not held tight) and the rope will form the curve of a parabola. This curve is used in life a lot. For example in the headlight of a car the reflector part is forming a curve of a parabola.
