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

A

falls on the earth exactly below the aeroplane

B

falls on the earth behind the aeroplane

C

falls on the earh ahead of the aeroplane

D

flies with the aeroplane

Text Solution
