The horizontal acceleration i.e. Vx throughout the trajectory remains constant only of the air resistance is neglected. The gravity can affect the y-component of velocity but is unable to affect its x-component. Acceleration (delta V) does not occur unless a change comes into play per Newton. Gravity does not effect x but air resistance would. Likewise, projectiles launched from e.g. an explosion experience a reducing delta V in that acceleration from an explosion is subject to the inverse square rule.

Ignoring air resistance what is the horizontal component of a projectile's acceleration?
Zero.
What is horizontal acceleration?
It is acceleration in the horizontal direction. This would happen as a result of a net horizontal force acting on a body.
The angle of projection of a projectile for which the horizontal range and maximum height are equal?
45 degrees.
What is a horizontal projectile?
horizontal projectile means to project horizontaly from any height h and it forms equation of parabola if we throw any object it goes horizontal and after this it goes down and by the equation s=ut+1/2at*twe can find following things from it # time ofprojectile # distance travelled #effect of gravity
What kind of graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line?
Acceleration
