Question

As a projectile falls, what happens to the components of velocity?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

An object when when projected at an angle, will have some horizontal velocity and vertical velocity such that,

$v_x=v\cos\theta\ \text{and}\ v_y=v\sin\theta$

$\theta$ is the angle of projection

The horizontal component of the projectile remains the same because there is no horizontal motion. Vertical component changes at every point.

As a projectile falls, vertical velocity increases in magnitude, horizontal velocity stays the same .
