Question

For general projectile motion, which of the following best describes the horizontal component of a projectile's acceleration? Assume air resistance is negligible. A)The horizontal component of a projectile's acceleration remains a nonzero constant. B)The horizontal component of a projectile's acceleration initially decreases and then increases. C)The horizontal component of a projectile's acceleration is zero. D)The horizontal component of a projectile's acceleration continually decreases. E)The horizontal component of a projectile's acceleration continually decreases

Explanation / Answer

c) The horizontal component of a projectile's acceleration is zero velocity of horizontal component is given by vcos(theta) theta is the angle of projectile v is the intial velocity with which the projectile is thrown
