Question:medium
A ball falls from a table top with initial horizontal speed $V_0$. In the absence of air resistance, which of the following statement is correct
A ball falls from a table top with initial horizontal speed $V_0$. In the absence of air resistance, which of the following statement is correct
Show Hint
In projectile motion, horizontal and vertical motions are independent.
Updated On: May 1, 2026
- The vertical component of the acceleration changes with time
- The horizontal component of the velocity does not change with time
- The horizontal component of the acceleration is non zero and finite
- The time taken by the ball to touch the ground depends on $V_0$
- The vertical component of the acceleration varies with time
Show Solution
The Correct Option is B
