Assertion: In the plane-to-plane motion of a projectile, the horizontal component of velocity remains constant.
Reason: In plane-to-plane projectile motion, the horizontal component of acceleration is zero.
Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
The assertion is true but the reason is false.
The assertion is false but the reason is true.
Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
The explanation for the reason statement:
The only acceleration acting on the projectile is gravity. Hence, the direction of acceleration will be downwards.
Thus, no acceleration is acting in the horizontal direction which is why the horizontal component of the motion remains constant.
Therefore, the reason is true and the correct explanation of the assertion.
