Question 17 • TX-Physics A

What is the horizontal acceleration of a ball that is launched horizontally with a velocity of 5.6 m/s?

Answer
A
–9.8 m/s2
B
0 m/s2
C
5.6 m/s2
D
9.8 m/s2

Explanation

Ignoring air resistance, gravity acts only vertically on the ball, so it does not change the ball’s horizontal velocity. Its horizontal acceleration is therefore 0 m/s², which is choice B.
