Question

A bomb is dropped from an aeroplane moving horizontally at constant speed, when air resistance is taken into consideration. Then the bomb : (A) falls on the earth the exactly below the aeroplane (B) tails on earth behind aeroplane (C) falls with aeroplane (D) falls on earth ahead the aeroplane

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

It is clear that due to air resistance the horizontal velocity of bomb is decreased on the other hand the aeroplane continues to move with constant speed. Hence, the bomb falls on the earth behind the aeroplane.

Q. A bomb is dropped from an aeroplane moving horizontally at constant speed, when air resistance is taken into consideration. Then the bomb :

falls on the earth the exactly below the aeroplane

tails on earth behind aeroplane

falls with aeroplane

falls on earth ahead the aeroplane

It is clear that due to air resistance the horizontal velocity of bomb is decreased on the other hand the aeroplane continues to move with constant speed. Hence, the bomb falls on the earth behind the aeroplane.
