  Suppose you go up a tower 80 m high and throw a ball horizontally with a velocity of 20 m/s. What will be the shape of the path followed by the ball? While falling, the motion of the ball will be a combination of two independent motions. Name these motions.

Answer:

                  The shape of the path followed by the ball is parabolic. Vertical and downward motion due to gravitational acceleration. Horizontal motion due to zero acceleration.                              (1)
