Question

A bomb is dropped from an aeroplane moving horizontally at constant speed. When air resistance is taken into consideration, the bomb

• A. Falls to earth exactly below the aeroplane
• B. Fall to earth behind the aeroplane
• C. Falls to earth ahead of the aeroplane
• D. Flies with the aeroplane

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Fall to earth behind the aeroplane

Due to air resistance, it’s horizontal velocity will decrease so it will fall behind the aeroplane.
