The force of gravity is the same, whether the object doesn't move at all, whether it moves horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or whatever. The force is about 9.8 newton/kilogram.Therefore, if no other forces act on the object, it will accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 meters/second squared - again, no matter how the object is moving at any given time.
Under gravity (and assuming no other forces are significant - such as air resistance), an object that initially moves horizontally will have the tendency to move in a parabola.

How does gravity affect an object moving horizontally?
no matter what it always hit the ground at the same time
How would no air affect the motion of objects moving horizontally?
It depends on the surface on which the object is moving, and also any other forces - such as gravity.
How does gravity affect motion of an object?
The object is accelerated towards the centre of mass of system formed by the object moving and the other object.
What does moving object mean?
it means an object is moving based on the force of friction and gravity.
Describe two forces that can affect an objects velocity?
Friction and Gravity are the two forces that affects an object's velocity. Friction is caused by both air and the surface on which an object is moving. Gravity is caused by Earth.
What factors affect the rate of object falls through air?
The force of gravity will affect the rate of falling in air. As will the aerodynamic shape of the object. And assuming that the air is not moving with or against the direction of fall.
Which gravity speeds up a moving object?
Gravity will speed up a force if gravity acts in the same direction as the object is already moving - for example, if the object is already moving downward - and if counterforces (such as air resistance) don't interfere too much.
What is the force that keep an object moving?
gravity
How does gravity affect the object's mass and weight?
Gravity affects weight, it does not affect mass.
How much work is done when a vertical force acts on a moving object horizontally?
It depends on the magnitude of the force and the mass of the object
How much work is done when vertical force acts on an object moving horizontally?
It depends on the magnitude of the force and the mass of the object
What force can cause an object to start moving also stop moving?
Gravity
