Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the absence of air resistance, the only force acting on a projectile in the vertical direction is gravity, which imparts a constant acceleration. This means the vertical component of the projectile's acceleration due to gravity remains constant throughout the motion.

For General Projectile Motion with No Air Resistance, the Vertical
