horizontal component of its acceleration is equal to -g.
2) the horizontal component of its velocity remains constant and the
vertical component of its acceleration is equal to -g.
3) the horizontal component of its velocity remains constant and the
vertical component of its acceleration is equal to zero.
4) the vertical component of both its velocity and its acceleration
remain constant.
5) the vertical component of its velocity remains constant and the
vertical component of its acceleration is equal to -g.
