Question
Transcribed Image Text:**Understanding Projectile Motion: Horizontal Velocity Component**
**Question:**
For general projectile motion, the horizontal component of a projectile's velocity:
- ○ any of these, depending on position.
- ○ is zero.
- ○ continuously decreases.
- ○ continuously increases.
- ○ remains a non-zero constant.
**Explanation:**
In projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity typically remains constant throughout the motion if we assume there is no air resistance. This is because there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction (assuming ideal conditions). In contrast, the vertical component is affected by gravity and changes over time. Thus, the most accurate answer based on ideal projectile motion conditions is that the horizontal component of the velocity remains a non-zero constant.
