Question

which statement is true about the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion? horizontal only changes when the vertical component changes. the vertical component changes when the horizontal component changes. both vertical and horizontal components are constant. horizontal and vertical components are independent of each otehr.

Explanation:

In projectile motion, the horizontal - motion is a uniform motion with constant velocity (assuming no air - resistance) as there is no horizontal acceleration. The vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion due to gravity. These two motions are independent of each other.

Answer:

Horizontal and vertical components are independent of each other.
