C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (with constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (equal to the acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

Here we want to study the downward component of the projectile's velocity. Since the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the vertical velocity is given by:

v=u+at

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the projectile is fired horizontally)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 downward is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

So the equation becomes

v=gt

This means that

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Because every second, it increases by 9.8 m/s in the downward direction.

When two notes are played simultaneously, creating a discordant sound, it is called _____.
mart [117]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Acoustic : A branch of physics which study the properties of sound.

Consonance: Combination of notes occurring simultaneously due to relationship between their respective frequencies.

Timbre: A characteristic of a musical note which makes it distinct from another wave which also have same pitch and intensity.

Dissonance :When combination of two notes are played simultaneously with lack of harmony in between them.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
