Question

Which of the following remains constant during the flight of an ideal projectile in air (neglecting air resistance)?

Accepted Answer

In the absence of air resistance, the only force acting on a projectile is gravity, which acts vertically downwards. Consequently, the horizontal component of acceleration is zero, making the horizontal component of velocity constant throughout the flight.
