A football kicked by a football player in the air is an example of
Correct answer: C. Projectile motion.
- A. Linear motion.
- B. Circular motion.
- C. Projectile motion.
- D. Rotational motion.
Explanation
When a football is kicked into the air, it follows a curved trajectory known as projectile motion. This is due to the influence of gravity and the initial force applied by the kick. Linear motion is incorrect because it implies straight-line movement. Circular motion is incorrect as it involves movement along a circular path, which is not the case here. Rotational motion is irrelevant to the path of the football, as it describes spinning around an axis rather than traveling through the air.

About Projectile Motion
Projectile motion combines uniform horizontal motion with vertically accelerated motion under gravity, assuming air resistance is neglected. Questions use the components of initial velocity to find time of flight, maximum height, horizontal range and position, while distinguishing projectile motion from general circular or one dimensional motion.
