How to use parabolic in a sentence?

1. Matthew Knight:

   The motion of' Oumuamua didn't simply follow gravity along a parabolic orbit as we would expect from an asteroid, but visually, it hasn't ever displayed any of the cometlike characteristics we'd expect. There is no discernable coma -- the cloud of ice, dust and gas that surrounds active comets -- nor a dust tail or gas jets.

2. Yousef Abbasi:

Just from the perspective of how long this potentially can last, there's still a great deal of uncertainty.

3. Rob Almeida:

   Cannabis is not going to have parabolic growth, there is a lot of hope and enthusiasm.

4. Bill Smead:

   Parabolic manias go until they don't, when the mania goes, they get crushed. They don't just go down.

5. Roshan Padmadan:

   It's a parabolic surge before the burst. It doesn't reflect the real economy, the property market may cause a serious detribalization of the Chinese banking sector.
