Question

Comparing with no air-resistance curve, for the motion of a baseball with effect of air-resistance, the correct curve will be

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. none

Answer 1

The correct option is A A

Due to resistance, distance travelled will decrease both in x and y directions because of opposing resistive force.
Curve C has height equal to that without air resistance, hence C is not possible.
Curve B has max height greater than that without air resistance, hence B is not possible.
Curve A has height and range less than those without air resistance, hence possible.
