If the object is thrown upwards, the vertical acceleration is negative and the horizontal acceleration is zero.

Why throwing a ball always put down in curve not in straight?
-- The only horizontal force on a thrown ball is the force of air resistance, so the horizontal acceleration is very small, and the horizontal speed stays almost constant. -- The vertical force on a thrown ball is the force of gravity, so the ball accelerates straight down at the acceleration of gravity. -- The result of unequal horizontal and vertical components of acceleration is a curved path.
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.
For an object to be in projectile motion and what force must be acting on it?
Gravity must be the only force acting on the object, to produce downwards vertical acceleration. There is no force acting in the horizontal direction because there is no acceleration.
Why does the vertical component of velocity for a projectile change with time where as the horizontal component of velocity doesn't?
Because gravity is acting on the vertical component, exerting a constant -9.8m/s2 worth of acceleration.

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.

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.
How does gravity affect two componets of projectile motion?
Divide the motion into a horizontal and a vertical component. The horizontal component won't be affected by gravity. The vertical component will get a downward acceleration of 9.8 meters per second per second.
How doesn't a vertical force effect a horizontal motion?
You need to know about gravity, forces, velocity, acceleration, and vector.

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.
How does the unbalaced force of gravity affect the horizontal and vertical velocities of an object in projectile motion?
Unbalanced force of gravity will not have any effect on horizontal component but makes a variation in the vertical component
Are ceilings and floors vertical?
Ceilings and floors are generally horizontal relative to gravity, whereas walls are vertical.
