Question
Below is an image of a cannon firing a projectile with an initial horizontal velocity. The location of the projectile at four points along its path are shown. Ignore air resistance.
What can you say about the magnitude of the vertical velocity as the object falls towards the ground?

Transcribed Image Text:**03 Multiple Choice**
Below is an image of a cannon firing a projectile with an initial horizontal velocity. The location of the projectile at four points along its path are shown. Ignore air resistance.
The image depicts a trajectory with four labeled points: A, B, C, and D. The path curves downward, depicting the projectile's motion.
**Question:**
What can you say about the magnitude of the vertical velocity as the object falls towards the ground?
- The magnitude of the vertical velocity remains zero throughout its trajectory.
- The magnitude of the vertical velocity decreases as it falls.
- The magnitude of the vertical velocity remains constant as it falls.
- The magnitude of the vertical velocity increases as it falls. *(correct answer highlighted)*
