The path followed by a projectile is known as its:
Correct answer: B. Trajectory
- A. Range
- B. Trajectory
- C. Cycle
- D. Height
Explanation
The trajectory is the curve (typically parabolic under uniform gravity and no air resistance) that a projectile follows in space.

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.
