I will try to describe in a very simple way, cuz I don't know it any other way. Take the said vector magnitude times the cosine of the angle from horizontal. In a two dimensional plane, say Joe throws a football at an angle of 10 degrees from horizontal, at 100 miles an hour. So, the horizontal component will be = 100 x cos(10)=98.48 miles an hour. The vertical component will be 100 x sin(10) = 100 x cos(80)=17.36 miles an hour. The angles are in degrees.
A horizontally-thrown ball begins to fall as soon as it leaves your hand. It hits
the ground some distance from you, but at the same instant as if you had just
dropped it from your hand.
sometimes unicorns fall out of my rainbow vagina, i need to go to a doctor.
Physics dictates it will fall towards earth due to its gravitational forces.
yes when ignoring air resistance
No, it can be thrown in any direction.
No, it is not.
horizontal
the horizontal component remain unchanged because there in no acceleration in horizontal direction
In projectile motion, since , there's no force in the horizontal direction which can change the horizontal motion therefore the horizotal velocity remains conserved Vx=Vox= Vocos theta by using above formula , constant horizontal initial or final velocity can be found. since Initial = final horizontal velocity.
The vertical velocity is 0. The horizontal velocity is constant during the entire trajectory (and may be zero).
If space were entirely empty this would be true, but even minute gravitational forces can change the trajectory and velocity of a projectile.

The horizontal distance will be doubled.
Since the velocity is constant due to the fact that there are no external forces acting in the horizontal direction, if you neglect air resistance, therefore, the horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant.
rainbow trajectory
That combination is called "projectile motion". In the absence of air resistance, its shape is always a parabola.
A projectile will travel on a straight line unless external forces act upon it. Gravity will pull the projectile downward, i.e. affect its vertical velocity component. This is why the projectile will decelerate upwards, reach a maximum elevation, and accelerate back down to earth. The force vector of air resistance points in the opposite direction of motion, slowing the projectile down. For example, If the projectile is going forward and up, air resistance is pushing it backwards (horizontal component) and down (vertical component). Without air resistance, there is no external force acting upon the horizontal velocity component and the projectiles ground speed will stay constant as it gains altitude and falls back down to earth.
A projectile that is thrown with an initial velocity,that has a horizontal component of 4 m/s, its horizontal speed after 3s will still be 4m/s.
Because gravity is acting on the vertical component, exerting a constant -9.8m/s2 worth of acceleration.
