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.

What is the furthest distance an object has been thrown by a human vertically and horizontally?
Horizontally
A vertically launched object When is the acceleration due to gravity greater when ascending from the top or descending?
As long as the object stays somewhere near the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity is constant, whether the object is moving up, down, sideways, or not moving at all.
The force acting upon an object the greater the acceleration of the object?
The larger the force acting upon an object, the greater the acceleration of the object.
How can you complete this sentence so it is always true the greater the net force acting on an object?
the greater its acceleration is
Is the acceleration due to gravity always pointing vertically downward even for an object whose velocity is vertically upward?
Acceleration only depends on the direction of the applied force and is independent of the velocity of the object, so gravity is always pointing down.
What will give an object greater force?
Greater acceleration, F=ma.
Length by height or height by length?
Length by height.Addition:About artworks it is always height by length.
How does the strength of a force affect the movement of an object?
Force is directly proportional to acceleration, so the greater the force, the greater the acceleration.
What is need to give an object a greater acceleration?
acceleration goes with boost of of any type of matter
What is the acceleration of an object moving upward?
On earth, the vertical acceleration of any object that's free to move vertically,and has no artificial force imposed on it, is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2,directed downward. The source of the acceleration is the mutual gravitationalattraction between the object and the earth.
How can you complete the sentence so it is always true the greater the net force acting on an object?
the greater its acceleration is
What affects the acceleration?
According to Newton's Second Law, a = F/m. That means that acceleration is caused by a force; that a greater force will result in greater acceleration; and that a larger mass (of the object on which the force acts) will result in less acceleration.
