In dealing with motion of projectile in air, we ignore effect of air resistance on motion. This give trajectory as a parabola as you have studied. What would the trajectory look like if air resistance is include ? Sketch such a trajectory and explain why you have drawn it that way.

Due to air resistance, energy and velocity of particle keep on decreasing making the fall steeper shown in the figure.
When we neglect air resistance path is symmetric parabola $(OAB)$. When air resistance is considered path is asymmetric parabola $(OAC).$
