A bomb is dropped by a fighter plane flying horizontally. To an observer sitting in the plane, the trajectory of the bomb is a:
Answer: (A) straight line vertically down the plane
The bomb keeps the plane's horizontal velocity (air resistance neglected), so relative to the plane its horizontal velocity is zero. It only accelerates downward, so the observer in the plane sees it fall along a vertical straight line.
