Path followed by water jet issuing from the bottom of a water tank will be a__________________?

Correct answer: A. Parabola (vertex being at the opening)

  • A. Parabola (vertex being at the opening)
  • B. Hyperbola
  • C. Horizontal straight line
  • D. Zig-zag path (which is geometrically undefined)

Explanation

The jet has horizontal velocity as it leaves the opening and vertical acceleration due to gravity. Combining uniform horizontal motion with constant vertical acceleration gives a parabolic path.
