Best Answer

It is acceleration in the horizontal direction. This would happen as a result of a net horizontal force acting on a body.

A bullet dropped versus a bullet fired from a gun which has greater acceleration?

The bullet fired from a gun has greater horizontal acceleration. For vertical acceleration, they are both the same.


How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?

This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).


Why throwing a ball always put down in curve not in straight?

-- The only horizontal force on a thrown ball is the force of air resistance, so the horizontal acceleration is very small, and the horizontal speed stays almost constant. -- The vertical force on a thrown ball is the force of gravity, so the ball accelerates straight down at the acceleration of gravity. -- The result of unequal horizontal and vertical components of acceleration is a curved path.


Which of the velocity component of projectile changes and other remain constant why?

the horizontal component remain unchanged because there in no acceleration in horizontal direction
