Question

A bomb is dropped from an aeroplane moving horizontally at constant speed. If air resistance is taken into consideration, then the bomb(a) falls on earth exactly below the aeroplane(b) falls on the earth exactly behind the aeroplane(c) falls on the earths ahead of the aeroplane(d) flies with the aeroplane

Answer 1

Option b.should be the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:b) falls on the earth exactly behind the aeroplane is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A bomb is dropped from an aeroplane moving horizontally at constant speed.

The air resistance is taken into consideration.

We'll check each option to get the final correct answer.

(a) falls on earth exactly below the aeroplane

This is incorrect.

(b) falls on the earth exactly behind the aeroplane

This is true option.

It is because as we are considering the air resistance.

The horizontal velocity will act.

It will slow down.

And the bomb will fall behind the aeroplane.

(c) falls on the earths ahead of the aeroplane

It is incorrect option.

(d) flies with the aeroplane

It isn't the correct answer.
