Ignoring air resistance a bullet fired horizontally has how many forces acting on it after leaving the rifle?

One. Only the bullet's weight. In this case, the bullet would not decelerate and will keep moving at muzzle velocity until it hits the ground.

A bullet fired horizontally has how many forces acting on it after leaving the rifle?
It has gravity pulling it down, inertia pushing it forward, the spin of the bullet causing it to curve VERY slightly, and air resistance slowing it down.
Can a force acting perpendicular on a body cancal a force which is acting horizontally on the same body?
no. a force acting perpendicularly on a body cannot cancel a force which is acting horizontally on the same body.!!!!
Why does a projectile maintain its horizontal component of velocity?
Because there's no horizontal force acting on it that would change its horizontal component of velocity. (In practice, that's not completely true, since the frictional 'force' of air resistance acts in any direction. But outside of air resistance, there's nothing else acting horizontally on the projectile.)
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would what?
The ball would continue straight without any gravitational forces acting on it, and without air resistance. If you consider air resistance, then the spin of the ball may give it a curved path, and eventually the ball would stop traveling as the air resistance slows down the ball.

What forces are acting when you are riding and then thrown from your bike?
The forces acting on the bike is gravity, air resistance and friction.
Is it normal if your boyfriend hasn't called you in a week or is he just ignoring you and does he not care much anymore?
If your boyfriend is ignoring you, then ignore him back..show him that you don't care, and you can have fun without him..guys hate that..once you start acting like you don't care, then he will realize he will loose you if he don't start acting right...
A feather is in freefall when the force of gravity is greater than the force of air resistance is equal to the force of air resistance is less than the force of air resistance is the only force acting?
"Free fall" means that gravity is the only force acting on a body.
What is the force acting on a fallling object?
Usually gravity AND air resistance.
What are the forces acting on a falling object on earth?
Gravity and air resistance.
When you drop the apple what are the forces acting on it?
There is the apple's weight (mass * gravity) but there is also the air resistance acting against the object's weight.
What are the forces acting on a man when he falls from the top of a building?
The gravitational pull on the falling man and the wind resistance acting against the fall.
