which of these statements is true?

While an object is in projectile motion (with upward being positive) with no air resistance

the vertical component of its velocity remains constant and the vertical component of its acceleration is equal to -g. the horizontal component of its velocity remains constant and the vertical component of its acceleration is equal to -g. the horizontal component of its velocity remains constant and the horizontal component of its acceleration is equal to -g. the vertical component of both its velocity and its acceleration remain constant. the horizontal component of its velocity remains constant and the vertical component of its acceleration is equal to zero.

Explanation / Answer

Horizontal Velocity remains constant.
Vertical Velocity will have a downward acceleration, = g.

The Correct Statement is -
The horizontal component of its velocity remains constant and the vertical component of its acceleration is equal to -g.
