CONCEPT

  • Projectile motion: A kind of motion that is experienced by an object when it is projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravitational force.

F2 J.K Madhu 04.05.20  D3

  • A body moves in projectile motion if its acceleration is constant and the velocity is not in the direction of the acceleration.

EXPLANATION:

  • The ball will follow the motion of a projectile.
  • When the ball is dropped from the bus, it has an initial velocity that is the same as the bus.
  • So the ball has an initial velocity in the horizontal direction.
  • And it will have acceleration in the downward direction.
  • Since it has a speed in the horizontal direction and constant gravitational acceleration in the vertical direction, so the ball will follow a projectile trajectory.
  • Hence the correct answer is option 3.
