What is the physical quantity that always remains constant in projectile motion

Open in App
Solution

Vertical acceleration is constant as long as the projectile doesn't go too extremely high, and as long as air resistance can be neglected.

The horizontal components of velocity and momentum are also constant as long as air resistance can be neglected, and provided the distance is very small compared to the circumference of Earth.
