𝑣𝑥

the projectile ascends (point A to B) the upward vertical velocity (𝑣𝑦)

is decreasing
reaches the maximum height (point B) it momentarily
stops 𝑣𝑦 = 0 When the projectile
descends (point B to C) the direction of its motion is in the direction of the
gravitational force hence the magnitude of its vertical velocity is increasing.
