The statement that is true about the total velocity of a projectile launched on a flat surface at an angle less than 90 is : B. The total velocity is equal at launch and at landing

When the projectile go up, it will be at full speed. When it reach highest point, the speed will be zero. When the projectile started falling, it will reach full speed again by the time it lands

hope this helps
