For projectile motion without air resistance, which of the following statements is true about the x- and y- components of acceleration? O They are both constant, where the x-component is a positive number and the y-component is the local acceleration due to gravity. O none of the given choices O They both change as a function of position along the parabolic path. O They are both constant, where the x-component is zero and the y-component is the local acceleration due to gravity. O They both change, but there is insufficient information given.
