How does vertical acceleration change when an object is dropped?

It doesn't. The acceleration is the same before and after; the only thing that changes is that the opposing force goes away.

If after an object is thrown no other fone and ads on it except gravity What are the vertical and horizontal components of its acceleration vector?
If the object is thrown upwards, the vertical acceleration is negative and the horizontal acceleration is zero.
What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile caused by?
Here on Earth, the vertical acceleration of any projectile is -9.81ms-2. The minus sign shows that they accelerate downwards. This is true for an object dropped from a height, however the question refers to a projectile, which implies an object that has been launched by a mechanism. It thus has both a horizontal and a changing vertical acceleration in addition to the constant downward gravitational acceleration. A general solution can be found in the related link. (Or by studying the pages in your textbook assigned by your teacher.)
What causes a change in acceleration and velocity?
Acceleration is the change in velocity and/or What_three_ways_can_acceleration_change_an_objects_motionof an object. Acceleration can either speed an object up, slow it down (deceleration), or change the direction in which the object is moving.
What indicates the acceleration of an object?
Velocity. A change in VELOCITY will always indicate the acceleration of an object.
When velocity may change?
Velocity can only change if the object experiences an acceleration. Acceleration can only change if either the Force on the object increases, or the Mass of the object decreases.
Why does a bullet shot horizontally hit the ground at the same time as one just dropped?
Because the horizontal and vertical motion of an object are separate. This means that a thrown object will accelerate with the same amount of acceleration as a dropped object (about 9.8 m/s2 acceleration due to gravity) causing them to hit the ground at the same time

What is the acceleration of a dropped object?
9.8 m/s/s
What are the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration vector at the maximum height?
Neglecting air resistance, the components of acceleration of an object that's dropped, tossed, pitched, flung, lobbed, heaved, launched, or shot are constant. The horizontal component is zero. The vertical component is 9.8 meters per second2, directed downward. These are both constant throughout the object's trajectory.
When does an object's acceleration change?
Acceleration is change of velocity / time.

Is acceleration greater when the object is thrown vertically or horizontally?
Acceleration is dependent on the initial velocity of how fast the object is leaving the projectile. The vertical acceleration is greater when the object is falling than when the object reaches the peak in height. However, if the object is thrown horizontally and there is no parabola in its shape then there is not as great of an acceleration.
When the mass of an object increases how does the object's acceleration change?
As mass increases acceleration decreases.
What indicates the acceleration of an object?
Velocity. A change in VELOCITY will always indicate the acceleration of an object.
When velocity may change?
Velocity can only change if the object experiences an acceleration. Acceleration can only change if either the Force on the object increases, or the Mass of the object decreases.
Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?
No. Acceleration is change of velocity / time. If there is no change in velocity, there is no acceleration.
