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.

∙ 13y agoNo, horizontal velocity and vertical velocity are independent and have no effect on each other.
'Vertical velocity' means speed up or down.
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.
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.
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.

You need to know about gravity, forces, velocity, acceleration, and vector.
Vertical Velocity - roller coaster - was created in 2001.

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