Question

earths ______ causes projectiles to follow a curved path.
o acceleration
o circumference
o gravity
o mass

Explanation:

Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the Earth. When a projectile is launched, gravity acts on it, causing it to deviate from a straight - line path and follow a curved trajectory. Acceleration is a general term for a change in velocity and not the specific cause here. Circumference is related to the size of a circular object and has no direct relation to the curved path of a projectile. Mass is a property of an object and while it is related to gravity, it is not what directly causes the curved path.

Answer:

C. gravity
