    Question

    A particle dropped from the top of a tower uniformly

    falls on ground at a distance which is equal to the height of tower. Which of the following paths will be traversed by the particle?
    A Circle Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Parabolic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Great circle Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Hyper-parabolic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    If a particle dropped from the top of a tower uniformly falls on ground at a distance which is equal to the height of tower then a parabolic path will be traversed by a particle because when the particle is dropped that point is called the point of projection and when it reaches the ground that point is called the point of impact.
