Which vector pair (arrow pair) correctly represents the acceleration and velocity at point P?
Who do you agree with?
Anita: “A projectile’s vx changes because of gravity, and its vy remains constant.”
Barry: “Both vx and vy are constant.”
Chris: “A projectile has no acceleration in the vertical dimension but it does accelerate horizontally.”
Dave: “A projectile has vertical acceleration and a constant horizontal velocity”

In the picture, cannonball A was launched at 10 m/s at 60°, and B was launched at 18 m/s at 25°. The cannonball that hit the ground first was
A, because it had less total velocity.
B, because it had more total velocity.
A, because it had less initial vertical velocity.
B, because it had less initial vertical velocity.
