Horizontal Projectile Motion

How can you describe the motion on the horizontal axis if you ignore air resistance?

• acceleration due to gravity
• constant velocity
• varying acceleration
• motionless

What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile?

• 0 m/s²
• 9.8 m/s² down
• 4.9 m/s² down
• 12 m/s down
