Does vertical velocity effect range

We're guessing that it does.

We've noticed that a rock thrown at some angle abovehorizontal will go farther than

an identical rock thrown at an identical speed and at the same angle below horizontal.

Major league outfielders seem to know this, either by virtue of some primitive instinct

or else from practice and experience. When one of them attempts a long throw to Home,

they never throw it down, always up.

Does horizontal velocity effect the rate of vertical velocity?

No, horizontal velocity and vertical velocity are independent and have no effect on each other.


What is vertical velocity?

'Vertical velocity' means speed up or down.


How doesn't a vertical force effect a horizontal motion?

You need to know about gravity, forces, velocity, acceleration, and vector.


When was Vertical Velocity - roller coaster - created?

Vertical Velocity - roller coaster - was created in 2001.


What is the horizontal range of a projectile initial velocity is doubled?

If "range" means that the shooter and the target are on the same level: quadrupled (if airesistance can be neglected). It takes twice the time until gravity "eats up" vertical velocity and during that time the projectile moves with double horisontal velocity. But if you shoot horisontally from a cliff at double velocity the flighttime will be the same and the range only doubled.


How does the unbalanced force of gravity affect the horizontal and vertical velocity of an object in projectile?

In the absence of air resistance, the force of gravity has no effect on the horizontal component of a projectile's velocity, and causes the vertical component of its velocity to increase by 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second downward for every second of its flight.


A banana is thrown straight out so it has both horizontal and vertical velocity After 1 second, what is its vertical velocity?

9.8


What is the definition of vertical velocity?

Vertical means up and down; so the vertical velocity is an indication of how quickly an object is rising or falling. If the object is moving at an angle (such as an airplane taking off or landing) then it would be more accurate to call it the vertical component of the object's velocity.


Why at the highest point is the change in velocity zero?

Note - the vertical velocity is zero ... there may be considerable horizontal velocity. And vertical velocity is zero because the object is going neither up nor down.


In projectile motion Why is the vertical component of velocity zero at the highest point of the trajectory?

Just before it reaches the highest point, the vertical component of velocity is upward.Just after it passes the highest point, the vertical component of velocity is downward.There's no way you can change from an upward velocity to a downward velocity smoothlywithout velocity being zero at some instant. A.True.


Which of these components of projectile motion is not influenced by gravity?

Horizontal and vertical components which need to be treated independently from each other when working out either the horizontal or vertical motion.


What is the vertical velocity of a projectile at the highest point in its trajectory?

The vertical velocity is zero at the highest point. It has ceased moving upward and will begin moving downward. Gravity and air resistance will have negated the original vertical velocity (y-component). So the velocity at the highest point has only a horizontal or x-component.
