Solution

The correct option is A

An aircraft taking off


The explanation for the correct option:

Projectile Motion:

  1. A projectile is any object that is thrown into space with only gravity acting on it.
  2. Gravity is the most powerful force acting on a projectile.
  3. When a particle is thrown obliquely near the earth's surface, it follows a curved path with constant acceleration to the earth's center. The path of a projectile will be parabolic.
  4. When a plane takes off, it does not take off in a parabolic trajectory. As a result, there is no projectile motion.

Hence, Option(A) is correct.
