Answer:

The correct answers are

The following statements are true about an object in two-dimensional projectile motion with no air resistance

D) The speed of the object is zero at its highest point.

E) The horizontal acceleration is always zero and the vertical acceleration is always a non-zero constant downward

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The speed of the object is constant but its velocity is not constant.

False the vertical velocity increases on descent

B) The acceleration of the object is constant but its object is + g when the object is rising and -g when it is falling.

False, the acceleration is -g when the object is rising

C) The acceleration of the object is zero at its highest point.

False, the acceleration is constant in magnitude throughout the motion

D) The speed of the object is zero at its highest point.

True, the direction of motion changes at the highest point from hence the body comes to rest and the speed is zero

E) The horizontal acceleration is always zero and the vertical acceleration is always a non-zero constant downward

True, the horizontal acceleration has associated force during motion but the vertical acceleration is due to gravity which is constant downwards
