B. Examine each statement carefully. Write TRUE if it is true. Change the underlined word/s if it is false. (2 pts each) 1. The horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant. 2. Both Vx and Vy is zero at the top of a projectiles path. 3. Only Vy or the vertical motion of a projectile is affected by gravity. 4. No forces act on the horizontal component of a projectile. 6. The vertical acceleration of a projectile is the same in whatever part of its path. 7. The horizontal acceleration of a projectile is equal to 9.8 m/s2. ________ 8. The range is maximum at 45 degrees launch angle. 9. ________ 10. A 60 degrees launch angle will produce the same range as a 30 degrees angle. ________ ________ If g is increased, the horizontal velocity of a projectile also increases. ________ ________ ________ ________ ________

5. Acceleration due to gravity is always directed downward and is therefore negative.________
