  1. A Momentum
  2. B Vertical component of velocity
  3. C Kinetic energy
  4. D Horizontal component of velocity
Verified Solution

(D) Horizontal component of velocity

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction during projectile motion and only gravitational acceleration \(g\) works in vertically downward direction. Hence, horizontal component of velocity remains constant.
