which describes an object in projectile motion?\ngravity acts to push the object sideways.\nthe object moves…

Brief Explanations:

In projectile motion, an object is launched into the air and moves under the influence of gravity. Gravity acts vertically downwards, not sideways. The object follows a curved - parabolic path, not a straight one. The object has a non - zero forward (horizontal) velocity component initially and due to inertia (the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion), the object's inertia carries it forward horizontally while gravity acts on it vertically.

Answer:

The object's inertia carries it forward.
