A stone is just released from the window of a train moving along a horizontal straight track. The stone will hit the ground in

A

Straight path

B

Circular path

C

Parabolic path

D

Hyperbolic path

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Parabolic path due to velocity of train.
Due to constant velocity along horizontal and vertical downward force of gravity stone will hit the ground following parabolic path.
Aliter : Since this is case of horizontal projectile, hence path is parabolic.
