Q21 of 61 Page 318

A bomb is released from an aircraft. Its trajectory is:

Let the aircraft be moving horizontally with speed u. Now, when the bomb is released, it experiences gravitational force on it and thus acceleration due to gravity in vertically downward direction.


Initially:



Finally:



Substituting equation 1 in 2, we get,



The above equation is an equation of parabola.


Hence, option B is correct.
