A bomber drops a bomb, when it is vertically above the target. It misses the target because of
Correct answer: D. Horizontal component of the velocity of bomber
- A. Vertical component of the velocity of bomber
- B. Forces of gravity
- C. Acceleration of the bomber
- D. Horizontal component of the velocity of bomber
Explanation
The horizontal component of the bomber's velocity causes the bomb to have a horizontal motion relative to the target, leading to a miss if not properly accounted for.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
