|
The x-component of the velocity of the ball is the same throughout the ball's flight.

|
The ball's velocity is perpendicular to its acceleration.
|
Which statement is true concerning the ball when it is at C, the highest point in its trajectory?
|
|

|
|
Which of the following statements are correct regarding the motion of an object in two dimensions? There may be more than one.
|
