A bomber flying horizontally with constant speed releases a bomb from an aeroplane.
a) The path of bomb as seen by the observer on the ground is parabola
b) The path of the bomb as seen by a pilot is a straight line.
c) The path of the aeroplane with respect to bomb is a straight line
d) The path of the bomb as seen by pilot observed as parabola.

Question

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

Horizontal component of velocity of the bomb relative to the pilot of the bomber is zero.So Statements $$-(b)$$ and (c) are correct. Again horizontal component of the bomb relative to an observer on the ground is equal to the velocity of the bomber.So statement $$-(a)$$ is right.Therefore option $$-(3)$$ is correct
