What is true about B and D?

They have different components and are not the same vectors.

They have the same components but are not the same vectors.

When setting up projectile motion questions, which of the following characteristics of projectile motion are important to keep in mind? Check all that apply.

Although the horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile are independent, they are connected through the time ΔtΔt that the object is in the air.

Projectile motion is made up of two independent motions: uniform motion at constant velocity in the horizontal direction and free-fall motion in the vertical direction.

Projectile motion is the motion of an object that moves in two dimensions under the influence of gravity and air resistance.

A man rides a bike along a straight road at a constant speed for 5 minmin, then has a flat tire. He stops for 5 minmin to repair the flat, but then realizes he cannot fix it. He continues his journey by walking the rest of the way at a constant speed, which takes him another 10 minmin. Select a correct motion diagram of the man for the entire motion described here.
