An object is projected from horizontal ground at a velocity of magnitude $$\(u\)$$ and angle $$\(\theta\)$$ to the horizontal. It hits the ground at a time $$\(t\)$$ after it is projected. Assume air resistance is negligible. Which statement does not describe the motion of this object?

A.
The horizontal component of the object's velocity is constant and has the value \(u \cos \theta\).
B.
The horizontal distance travelled by the object is \(t u \cos \theta\).
C.
The time taken for the object to reach maximum height is \(\frac{t}{2}\).
D.
The vertical component of the object's velocity is constant and has the value \(u \sin \theta\).
