In motion, the object is given an initial velocity at an angle and no internal engine is present to change the velocity or direction of the object. Also, in motion the air resistance is not considered.
In the motion of the rocket, the rocket keeps changing its speed and direction by changing the amount of fuel it uses . This is in contradiction to projectile motion. Also, the path of the rocket is non-parabolic, it can trace any path which can change as per the needs.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
