Question

A ball is thrown upward at a 45∘∘ angle. In the absence of air resistance, the ball follows a_________. A. A ball is thrown upward at a 45 angle.B. In the absence of air resistance, the ball follows a tangential curve.C. parabolic curve.D. sine curve.E. linear curve.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. parabolic Curve

Explanation:

The trajectory of a projectile motion is parabolic.

If a ball is thrown at angle of 45° to the horizontal then it will follow a parabolic curve during its motion as its a projectile motion. The other options are incorrect as sine curve is a periodic type of curve. linear curve and tangential curve are also out of place.So option C is correct
