In the projectile motion of a particle on a level ground, which of the following remains constant with reference to time and position?

Options

  1. AAverage velocity between any two points on the path
  2. BHorizontal component of velocity
  3. CAngle between the instantaneous velocity with the horizontal
  4. DVertical component of the velocity of the projectile

Correct answer

B. Horizontal component of velocity

Step-by-step solution

In projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity remains constant with respect to time and position. This is because there is no horizontal acceleration acting on the projectile (neglecting air resistance).
