Question

Explain why there is no acceleration horizontally on an object in Projectile Motion. A. There is no acceleration horizontally because velocity is constant in the x- direction. B. There is no acceleration horizontally because velocity increases in the x- direction. C. There is no acceleration horizontally because velocity decreases in the x-direction . D. There is no acceleration vertically because velocity is constant in the y -direction .

Answer 1

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The force of gravity does not affect the horizontal component in projectile motion; a projectile maintains a constant horizontal velocity. So there is no acceleration ( a=0 ) in horizontal direction as velocity remains constant.
