Question

Statement I: The trajectory of an object moving under the same acceleration due to gravity can be straight line or a parabola depending on the initial conditions.
Statement II:The shape of the trajectory of the motion of an object is determined by the acceleration alone.

• A. If both statement I and statement II are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.
• B. If both statement I and statement II are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I.
• C. If statement I is true but statement II is false.
• D. If both statement I and statement II are false.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The shape of the trajectory of the motion of an object is not determined by the acceleration alone but also depends on the initial conditions of motion (initial position and initial velocity).
