Question

which describes an object in projectile motion? gravity acts to push the object sideways. the object moves in a straight path. the forward velocity of the object is 0 m/s. the objects inertia carries it forward.

Explanation:

In projectile motion, an object is launched into the air and moves under the influence of gravity. Gravity acts vertically down - ward, not sideways. Projectiles follow a curved path (parabolic in the absence of air - resistance), not a straight path. The forward velocity is non - zero (otherwise it wouldn't be moving forward). The object's inertia resists changes to its horizontal motion and carries it forward while gravity acts on its vertical motion.

Answer:

The object's inertia carries it forward.
