1.	A ball is projected from the top of a tower at an angle `60^(@)` with the vertical. What happens to the vertical component of its velocity?A. Increases continuouslyB. Decreases continuouslyC. Remain unchangedD. Frist decreases and then increases
Answer» Correct Answer - a As acceleration due to gravity acts against the motion up to the highest point, hence vertical component of the velocity first decreases. But during downwards motion, acceleration due to gravity acts in the direction of motion, hence vertical component of velocity then starts increasing.
