ANSWER:

Given that:-

A velocity vector filed is given by

(a) The vector field looks like

Flow lines looks like parabolas.

(b) By the definition of element lines, the target vector to these parametric curves at each point must equal to F i.e

  

(c) & (d) Intefrating we have

Passes through

    

so,   

This is the required graphical representation of parabola.
