Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is because the vertical acceleration is due solely to gravity, which is a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 downwards (assuming negligible air resistance). Therefore, the vertical component of acceleration remains constant throughout the projectile's trajectory.
