As per your syllabus, the horizontal and vertical velocities at the moment of impact depend on which factors?
ABoth shrink to zero at impact
Bv_x stays v₀ ; v_y = g·t
COnly on cliff height h
DOnly on the launch angle θ
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. v_x stays v₀ ; v_y = g·t
syllabus Ex 3.7: x-component is unchanged (a_x = 0)
y-component grows as gt downward. Independent components.
