Does the horizontal motion affect the vertical motion of a projectile?
Not if you can ignore air resistance, it doesn't.
Which two forces affect the motion of a projectile?
The main forces acting on a projectile are gravity, and air resistance.
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.
How does gravity affect two componets projectile motion?
The vertical motion is accelerated downwards, at a rate of about 9.8 meters per square second. The horizontal motion is not affected. This all assumes that air resistance is insignificant, and can therefore be ignored.
Is a feather falling in a vacuum projectile motion?
A feather falling in a vacuum is not considered as a projectile motion. Gravity, which is absent in a vacuum, is one of the components of projectile motion.
How does the gravity affect the two components of projectile motion?
Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.
Does the horizontal motion affect the vertical motion of a projectile?
Not if you can ignore air resistance, it doesn't.

True or false The components of projectile motion affect each other?
false

How those air resistance affect the vertical and horizontal velocity of a projectile calculation?
Air resistance acts against the motion of the object. Whatever range you get when assuming no air resistance is too large.
What are the two components or parts of projectile motion?
(x,y)
What are two velocity components of projectile motion?
The magnitude of its Velocity (Speed), and its Direction. These are the components of the Arrow (Vector) that represents its MOTION.
How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare to the motion of free fall?
They are the same, if the effect of air resistance is ignored.
What is the effect on the projectile motion when the diameter of the object is changed?
-- In the absence of air resistance, the object's diameter has no effect at all on the projectile motion. -- In the presence of air resistance, one has to know everything about the object AND the air in order to have a prayer of calculating the effect.
