CHOICES:
a. Horizotal velocity of a projectile is constant
b. It is a combination of two independent motions- vertical and horizontal
c. The motion of the projectile released downward is accelerated
d. Both horizontal and vertical velocities are constant

If you have an answer please state the reason.
Thanks!

d. is wrong
horizontal velocity is always constant
vertical velocity is always not constant

the constant in vertical motion is the acceleration of gravity
but not the vertical velocity

d.Both horizontal and vertical velocities are constant is the wrong statement about projectile motion.

Sorry, but I think it depends on the environment in which the experiment is performed.

Usually, answer D would be false.

;-D Out is space, maybe D could be true.

d; vertical motion is accelerated thus velocity changes

A&D
 Neither the horizontal or the vertical velocities are constant.
The vertical is increased by the force of gravity.
The horizontal is decreased by air resistance.
But the path of the projectile is a combination of the two.

D. The vertical velocity is not constant as a downward force of gravity acts on it.

Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that has been fatal in at least 29% of cases, and in as many as 83% of cases, depending on the patient's health prior to infection. It has occurred often after natural disasters such as tornados, and early treatment is essential.

Blood is approximately twice as thick as water because of the cells and other components found in it.

Did you know?

ACTH levels are normally highest in the early morning (between 6 and 8 A.M.) and lowest in the evening (between 6 and 11 P.M.). Therefore, a doctor who suspects abnormal levels looks for low ACTH in the morning and high ACTH in the evening.

As many as 20% of Americans have been infected by the fungus known as Histoplasmosis. While most people are asymptomatic or only have slight symptoms, infection can progress to a rapid and potentially fatal superinfection.
