Q. A bomb is dropped by fighter plane flying horizontally. To an observer sitting in the plane, the trajectory of the bomb is a :

hyperbola

parabola in the direction of motion of plane

straight line vertically down the plane

parabola in a direction opposite to the motion of plane

$v_{B} = u_{0} \hat{i} - g t \hat{j}$
$v_{B / P} = V_{B} - v_{P}$
$v_{B / P} = - 8 t \hat{j}$

vB​=u0​i^−gtj^​ vB/P​=VB​−vP​ vB/P​=−8tj^​ straight line vertically down

$v_{B} = u_{0} \hat{i} - g t \hat{j}$
$v_{B / P} = V_{B} - v_{P}$
