Question

choose the most accurate answer: due to earths gravity, a projectile follows a(n) ______ path.
o curved
o upward
o straight
o downward

Explanation:

Gravity acts as a downward - acting force on a projectile. When a projectile is launched, it has an initial horizontal and vertical velocity. The horizontal velocity remains constant (neglecting air - resistance), while the vertical velocity changes due to gravity. This causes the projectile to follow a curved (parabolic) path.

Answer:

A. curved
