Which statements are NOT VALID for a projectile? Take upward as positive.
The acceleration of the projectile is positive and decreasing when the projectile is moving upwards, zero
at the top. and increasingly negative as the projectile descends.
OThe projectile has the same x velocity at any point on its path.
O The acceleration of the projectile is a constant negative value.
The y component of the velocity of the projectile is zero at the highest point of the projectile's path.
