A ball is projected horizontally through still air from the top of a very tall building. Air resistance acts on the ball. What happens to the horizontal component and to the vertical component of the ball’s velocity?
- Ahorizontal component of velocity decreases to zero; vertical component of velocity increases at a constant rate
- Bhorizontal component of velocity decreases to zero; vertical component of velocity increases to a constant value
- Chorizontal component of velocity remains constant; vertical component of velocity increases at a constant rate
- Dhorizontal component of velocity remains constant; vertical component of velocity increases to a constant value
