Question

The locus of a projectile relative to another projectile is a

• A. straight line
• B. circle
• C. ellipse
• D. parabola

Answer 1

The correct option is A straight line

The acceleration of both the projectiles is g.

So the relative acceleration between the projectiles is zero.

That means their relative velocity and the direction is not changing as the relative acceleration is zero.

Hence, it will travel in the direction of the intial resultant relative velocity and the path will be a straight line.

Hence correct answer is option $A$
