An example of projectile motion is:
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. A bullet shot from a rifle
- B. An object dropped from an airplane
- C. A thrown football
- D. All of the above
Explanation
The explanation is given below: Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to the force of gravity and air resistance (if applicable). Therefore, all of the options (a, b, and c) represent examples of projectile motion.

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.
