Question

Select all statements about projectile motion that are true.

(ignoring the effects of air resistance...)

The magnitude of the x-component of a projectile's acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.
The x-component of a projectile's acceleration is zero.

The y-component of a projectile's acceleration is zero.

The magnitude of a projectile's acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.
The magnitude of a projectile's acceleration is zero.
The magnitude of the y-component of a projectile's acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Let's check each options on by one

1. The magnitude of the x-component of a projectile's acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.

FALSE

since there is no force along acceleration their food acceleration along X direction is zero.

2.The x-component of a projectile's acceleration is zero.

TRUE 

since there is no force along acceleration their food acceleration along X direction is zero.
