The parabolic motion of a body is called _.
Correct answer: A. Projectile motion
- A. Projectile motion
- B. Tragectory motion
- C. Vertical motion
- D. None of these
Explanation
Explanation:Projectile motion involves the simultaneous motion of a body in two dimensions, with a parabolic path being followed due to the combination of horizontal and vertical components. This term specifically refers to the curved path taken by a body under the influence of gravity, making it the most fitting description for parabolic motion.While 'Trajectory motion' and 'Vertical motion' may seem related, they do not encompass the full nature of the motion described. The option 'None of these' is incorrect as 'Projectile motion' aligns with the concept of parabolic motion in two dimensions.

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.
