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

On a parabolic path as seen by pilot in the plane
Vertically along a straight path as seen by an observer on the ground near the target
On a parabolic path as seen by an observer on the ground near the target
On a zig-zag path as seen by pilot in the plane
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
The pilot will see the ball falling in straight line because the reference frame is moving with the same horizontal velocity but the observer at rest will see the ball falling in parabolic path.
