Why does the vertical velocity component of a projectile change linearly with time?
ADrag stays constant
BLaunch angle is fixed
CMass stays constant
DGravity is constant
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Gravity is constant
A constant acceleration g changes the vertical velocity by equal amounts in equal times.
