A stone thrown horizontally from the top of a tall building follows a path that is:

Explanation

When a stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a tall building, it experiences only the force of gravity acting vertically downward. Since there is no initial vertical velocity, the stone's motion is governed solely by the downward force of gravity. The path of the stone is a result of the combination of its horizontal velocity (due to the initial throw) and the vertical acceleration due to gravity. As the stone falls vertically, it also continues to move horizontally due to its initial horizontal velocity. The resulting trajectory of the stone is a curved path known as a parabola.
