3. An athlete makes a long jump and follows a projectile motion. Air resistance is negligible. Which one of the following statements is true about the athlete? (a) "The athlete has a constant hanzontal und vertical velocities. (h) The athlete han a constant horizontal velocity anil constant downward acceleration ic) The athlete has a constant upward acceleration followed by a constant downward acceleration d) The athlete has a constant upward velocity followed by a constant downwani velo​

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The motion under the influence of gravity is called projectile motion.

The acceleration due to gravity is constant through out the motion and it is always acting downwards.

When an athlete jumps and follow the projectile path, it always have the same horizontal velocity as there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

Also he has the vertical acceleration constant which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and acts towards the center of earth.  

Option (b) is correct.

it has to be b, about 97 percent.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
