Lesson: Projectiles When there is air resistance present how to the velocity and acceleration vectors behave? O The acceleration vector is perpendicular to the trajectory and the velocity vector is at a tangent to it. O The acceleration changes throughout the flight with its x-component opposite the direction of motion. The velocity vector is at a tangent to the trajectory O The acceleration vector is constant and points straight down. The velocity vector is at a tangent to the trajectory O The acceleration and velocity vectors are both constant magnitude but continually change direction.
