Question

If a body is released from the aeroplane in flight. Is it an example of projectile​

Answer 1

Answer_

Before, coming on the question let us first understand what projectile motion is exactly.

Projectile Motion:

Projectile motion is basically a form of motion experienced by an object or body that is projected just near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only . $\:$

Coming towards the Question :

If the body is released from the top of the aeroplane then it will have only horizontally velocity and zero vertically velocity .

This is just same as we are dropping a ball from the top of a tower, which will fall horizontally and hit the ground. And it is parabolic motion that is projectile motion.

Yes the body is in projectile motion.

Answer 2

Yes, the body released from the aeroplane in flight is an example of Projectile​  Motion.

- At the instant when the body is just released from the aeroplane, it only has horizontal velocity.

- But as soon as it is dropped, it attains a vertical velocity as a result of the acceleration due to gravity.

- So, it moves under the influence of both forward horizontal velocity and downwards acceleration due to gravity.

- This motion of the body follows a parabolic path.

- Hence, it is considered a Projectile Motion.
