Two bodies are falling with negligible air resistance, side by side, above a horizontal plane. If one of the bodies is given an additional horizontal acceleration during its descent, it 1. follows a straight line path along the resultant acceleration vector. 2. has the vertical component of its acceleration altered. 3. has the vertical component of its velocity altered. 4. strikes the plane at the same time as the other body. 5. follows a hyperbolic path.

Willis · Answer 1

Answer:4-strikes the plane at same time as the other body

Explanation:

Given

If both bodies is falling on a horizontal plane and second body is given an acceleration in horizontal direction then it does not change the time to reach the Horizontal Plate as there is no change in vertical direction.

Horizontal acceleration will give only horizontal range and horizontal velocity.

4. Strikes the plane at the same time as the other body

Explanation:

for x = 9.8m/s2

Ax = 9.8m/s2
