Question

Which of the activities below are examples of projectile motion? Check all that apply. A. A football thrown down the field B. A tennis ball tossed up before a serve C. An apple falling from a tree D. An airplane landing

Answer 1

A, B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

An object thrown with a speed at some angle near the Earth undergoes a projectile motion. It moves in a curved path under the action of gravity only. The object is known as projectile. options A, B and C are examples of projectile motion. These objects move under the action of gravity only.

An airplane landing is in control of its motion and does not move just under the action of gravity. So, it cannot be considered as projectile motion.

Answer 2

I would state A and B are projectile motion because they are all launched at an angle and are in free fall after being launched.
