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