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

What kind of graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line?
Acceleration
Ignoring air resistance what is the horizontal component of a projectile's acceleration?
Zero.
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?
The graph you described is a speed-time plot. If the line is horizontal, that indicates no change in speed over time. In other words, there is no acceleration (acceleration is zero), since there is no change in speed.
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on a vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
Constant speed ... zero acceleration.
A horizontal line on an acceleration graph would indicate?
-- constant acceleration -- speed increasing at a steady rate -- distance increasing as the square of the time since everything started
Do horizontally launched projectiles have a horizontal acceleration?
No, horizontally launched projectiles do not have a horizontal acceleration after being launched because there are no horizontal forces acting on them once they are in motion. Horizontal acceleration only occurs if there is a change in velocity in the horizontal direction, which would require a horizontal force.
If after an object is thrown no other fone and ads on it except gravity What are the vertical and horizontal components of its acceleration vector?
The vertical component of the acceleration vector is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 downward). The horizontal component of the acceleration vector is zero since there is no acceleration acting in the horizontal direction (assuming no external forces).
What is the difference between vertical acceleration and horizontal acceleration?
Vertical acceleration is the rate of change of velocity moving up or down, while horizontal acceleration is the rate of change of velocity moving left or right. Vertical acceleration is affected by gravity, while horizontal acceleration is typically due to external forces like friction or thrust.
Horizontal acceleration of the body is detected primarily by the?
utricle
What is the horizontal acceleration of a ball being rolled off of a cliff?
The horizontal acceleration of a ball rolling off a cliff is typically considered to be zero, assuming air resistance is neglected. The force of gravity acting vertically downward does not contribute to horizontal acceleration, as the ball falls vertically due to gravity while maintaining its initial horizontal velocity.
What does a horizontal line mean in acceleration vs time graph?
A horizontal line on an acceleration vs. time graph indicates constant acceleration over time. This means that the object is experiencing a steady rate of change in velocity.
A distance time graph for acceleration is always a?
a horizontal line :)
What kind of graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line?
Acceleration
What are the horizontal components of accelaration of a body when thrown horizontally with unifornm speed?
When a body is thrown horizontally with uniform speed, there is no change in the horizontal velocity, so the horizontal component of acceleration is zero. The only acceleration acting on the body is due to gravity in the vertical direction.
Ignoring air resistance what is the horizontal component of a projectile's acceleration?
Zero.
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).
