An aeroplane is flying at a constant horizontal velocity of $600\, km/hr$ at an elevation of $6\, km$ towards a point directly above the target on the earth's surface. At an appropriate time,the pilot releases a ball so that it strikes the target at the earth. The ball will appear to be falling

  • C
    On a parabolic path as seen by an observer on the ground near the target
  • D
