Why does a force of gravity has no effect on horizontal component of velocity?

The force of gravity points towards the center of the earth ... the direction we call "down". The force has no horizontal component, so it can't have any effect on horizontal speed.


Does gravity affect average speed?

YES


What are the forces that affect the horizontal movement of air?

The forces that affect the horizontal movement of air are gravity and air pressure. Wind is caused by the differences in air mass temperature.


How does the unbalaced force of gravity affect the horizontal and vertical velocities of an object in projectile motion?

Unbalanced force of gravity will not have any effect on horizontal component but makes a variation in the vertical component


The speed of ball increases as it rolls down an inclinem What happens to its speed on a smooth horizontal surface?

How does gravity affect two componets of projectile motion?

Divide the motion into a horizontal and a vertical component. The horizontal component won't be affected by gravity. The vertical component will get a downward acceleration of 9.8 meters per second per second.


How does gravity affect the 2 components of projectile motion?

-- Gravity causes the vertical component of projectile motion to vary according to the local acceleration of gravity. -- Gravity has no effect at all on the horizontal component of projectile motion.


Why does gravity affect speed?

Because the effect of gravity is to cause forces between every two objects that have mass, and force on an object generally affects its speed.
