Statement I: In the frame of a boat with constant horizontal acceleration, a stone dropped from rest relative to the boat moves along a straight line. Statement II: In the same frame, a stone thrown horizontally from the mast also moves along a straight line.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Statement I is true: zero initial velocity in a constant effective acceleration gives straight-line motion. Statement II is false: a horizontal initial velocity is not parallel to the effective acceleration, so the path is a parabola. Option C.
