Question

An animator is animating a bouncing ball along the dotted path as shown below. Which option is FALSE?

• A. In position \(P\), the ball will stretch vertically.
• B. In position \(R\), the ball will remain the same.
• C. In position \(Q\), the ball will stretch horizontally.
• D. In position \(S\), the ball will remain the same.

Hint:

Observe deformation patterns in animations to determine how physical laws are applied creatively.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: At \(P\), the ball stretches vertically due to impact forces.
Step 2: At \(Q\), horizontal stretching occurs as the ball rebounds.
Step 3: At \(S\), the ball deforms slightly upon impact. Thus, (D) is false.
