Answer:

<em>D. remains constant throughout the fall.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launching </u>

We can launch an object in free air in three forms: vertically, horizontally or inclined. In any case, the only acting force to modify the object's velocity and make it go back to the ground is the force of gravity and it's always directed downwards. Unless friction or air resistance is considered, the horizontal motion is not affected because no force is acting in that direction.

The rock described in the question was launched at 3 m/s pointed horizontally. Immediately after launching, the rock starts to fall to the ground and gain vertical velocity, but the horizontal component remains the same until it completes the flight.  

The D option is correct: the horizontal velocity of the rock remains constant throughout the fall

A ball is thrown up into the air. explain what happens to its potential and kinetic energies as it moves up and then back down
sashaice [31]
Initially when ball is thrown up in air, its kinetic energy goes on decreasing. This loss in kinetic energy changes in potential energy and it keeps on increasing. This potential energy becomes maximum at highest point of its motion. At this highest point, kinetic energy of ball becomes zero. Now while coming down,  potential energy goes on decreasing and this loss changes into kinetic energy. This kinetic energy keeps on increasing till it hits the ground or stopped by some external agent. Hope it helps.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

They hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

Mass doesn't matter in free fall. As long as they were released with the same velocity and the same height, they'll hit the ground at the same time
