Can a force directed vertically on an object ever cancel a force directed horizontally?

No, never. They act perpendicularly, so they could never cancel. Only forces which act parallel and in the opposite direction can cancel.

Why don't you do any work when you carry an object art a constant velocity?
Well, if you do that for a while, you could certainly raise a sweat, and you would say that you've done a lot of work. But in the strict Physics definition of "work", none of it has been done to the object you carried. The strict definition is: Force acting through a distance. Referring to the object you carry: -- You don't move it vertically. You just hold it there against the force of gravity, but your vertical force doesn't move it up or down. So no work is done vertically. -- Horizontally, the speed is constant. No force is required to maintain a constant speed, so no work is done horizontally either.
Do action and reaction forces acting in opposite directions cancel out because they act on different objects?
In order to cancel out, they must act on the same object.

Is the acceleration due to gravity always pointing vertically downward even for an object whose velocity is vertically upward?
Acceleration only depends on the direction of the applied force and is independent of the velocity of the object, so gravity is always pointing down.
When an object reaches terminal velocity what is the net force acting on the object?
When an object is at terminal velocity, the two forces due to gravity and drag are equal, so the object ceases accelerating. Its motion is constant and vertically downward.
What is the furthest distance an object has been thrown by a human vertically and horizontally?
Horizontally
Is acceleration greater when the object is thrown vertically or horizontally?
Acceleration is dependent on the initial velocity of how fast the object is leaving the projectile. The vertical acceleration is greater when the object is falling than when the object reaches the peak in height. However, if the object is thrown horizontally and there is no parabola in its shape then there is not as great of an acceleration.
Length by height or height by length?
Length by height.Addition:About artworks it is always height by length.
How does gravity affect object that are moving horizontally?
The force of gravity is the same, whether the object doesn't move at all, whether it moves horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or whatever. The force is about 9.8 newton/kilogram.Therefore, if no other forces act on the object, it will accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 meters/second squared - again, no matter how the object is moving at any given time. Under gravity (and assuming no other forces are significant - such as air resistance), an object that initially moves horizontally will have the tendency to move in a parabola.
How are objects able to gain energy as well as use it?
An object gains energy when it is either heated or pushed. If pushed vertically, it gains gravitational potential energy. If pushed horizontally, it gains kinetic energy.
Why does the speed dcreses when an object is thrown vertically up?
whyh does the sped decreases when an object is thrown vertically up
Can airliner jet glide without fuel?
to a certain degree yes but it may probably go into stall. A glide is when an aircraft or object travels horizontally while dropping vertically. If it doesn't glide, then it drops vertically---i.e. a rock. If it can travel horizontally the same distance as the distance it falls, this is referred to as a 1:1 (one-to-one) glide slope. Many aircraft can not do this and will drop faster than they fly forward.
What is the acceleration of an object moving upward?
On earth, the vertical acceleration of any object that's free to move vertically,and has no artificial force imposed on it, is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2,directed downward. The source of the acceleration is the mutual gravitationalattraction between the object and the earth.
Result of the combination of an objects forward inertia and the downward pull of gravity on the object?
If there is no forces acting, it will continue horizontally at constant velocity, while uniformly accelerating vertically down , the effect of this would trace a parabolic curve
