Answer:
The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant in accordance with the Newton's first law of motion since there is no other force acting in the horizontal direction.
Explanation:
- A ball moving in projectile motion is under a variable resultant velocity on the object but the horizontal component of the velocity is always constant in accordance with the Newton's first law of motion since there is no other force acting in the horizontal direction.
- While a projectile motion the body is always under the influence of gravity and so its vertical component of velocity varies continuously.
- During the analysis of such a problem we always break the velocity components of the body for our ease of evaluation using the equations of motion.
