When a bomb is released from an aeroplane the path described by it as observed by the pilot is?
(c) The path of the aeroplane with respect to bomb is a straight line (d) The path of the bomb as seen by pilot observed as parabola. A bomber flying horizontally with constant speed releases a bomb from an aeroplane.
What is the initial velocity of the bomb when it is dropped?
zero
The body in projectile motion is a projectile. Here the initial velocity of the bomb is zero because we are not giving any kind of external velocity to the bomb. The bomb is just dropped and it continues to fall only with the influence of gravity.
What is the nature of path of projectile?
The nature of path of projectile is to follow the parabolic path. And continue that till any external work is not done to change it.
Why the path of projectile is parabolic?
Projectile motion is parabolic because the vertical position of the object is influenced only by a constant acceleration, (if constant drag etc. is also assumed) and also because horizontal velocity is generally constant. is quadratic, and therefore describes a parabola.
What is projectile motion show that path of projectile is parabolic?
Equation (5) represents the path of the projectile. If we put tan θ = A and g/2u2cos2θ = B then equation (5) can be written as y = Ax – Bx2 where A and B are constants. This is the equation of a parabola. Hence, the path of the projectile is a parabola.
Is aeroplane in flight an example of projectile motion?
Yes, the body released from the aeroplane in flight is an example of Projectile Motion. – At the instant when the body is just released from the aeroplane, it only has horizontal velocity. – Hence, it is considered a Projectile Motion.
What do you mean by projectile?
1 : a body projected by external force and continuing in motion by its own inertia especially : a missile for a weapon (such as a firearm) 2 : a self-propelling weapon (such as a rocket) projectile.
