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

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.
