Which of the following statements is not true of the motion of projectiles? Group of answer choices
The higher the initial speed the farther the projectile will travel.
A projectile with an upward component of motion will have an upward component of acceleration.
The vertical components of a projectile’s acceleration is a constant value of 9.8 m/s^2.
A projectile will travel the farthest when launched at a 45° angle.
The statement that is not true of the motion of projectiles is:
A projectile with an upward component of motion will have an upward component of acceleration.
This statement is incorrect because, regardless of the direction of the projectile's motion, the acceleration due to gravity always acts downward at a constant value of approximately 9.8 m/s². Therefore, even when a projectile is moving upward, its acceleration is downward, not upward.
