A tennis ball is projected horizontally through the air from the top of a tall building. If the effect of air resistance is not negligible, what happens to the ball’s horizontal and vertical components of velocity?
- Ahorizontal component: constant; vertical component: constant
- Bhorizontal component: constant; vertical component: increases at a constant rate
- Chorizontal component: decreases to zero; vertical component: increases at a constant rate
- Dhorizontal component: decreases to zero; vertical component: increases to a maximum value
