Water flows out of the hole on the side ...

Water flows out of the hole on the side of a bucket and follows a parabolic path. If the bucket falls freely under gravity, then ignoring air resistance, the water flow

A

follows a straight line path relative to the falling bucket

B

Follows a parabolic path relative to the falling bucket

C

decreases but continues to flow

D

stops

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since it is a free fall, g=0. Hence the water head above the hole will not exert any pressure on the two sides of the hole will be equal and hence the flow will stop.
