A boy in an open car moving on a levelled road with constant speed tosses a ball vertically up in the air and catches it back . Sketch the motion of the ball as observed by a boy standing on the footpath. Give explanation to support your diagram.

A

outside the car

B

in the car ahead of the person

C

in the car to the side of the person

D

exactly in the hand which threw it up

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Horizontal velocity of ball and person are same so both will cover equal horizontal distance in a given interval of time and after following the parabolic path the ball falls exactly in the hand which threw it up.
