Is an object sliding along a horizontal table an example of projectile motion?

No. The definition of projectile motion is an object dropped launched into the air, which is acted upon by gravity. (For the basic forms of the motion, air resistance is ignored.)

What type of motion describes the horizontal component of a projectile?
The type of motion that describes the horizontal component of a projectile is horizontal projectile motion. It is influenced by the downward force of gravity.
Example problem and answer of projectile motion?
-- In what direction should a projectile be launched in order to achieve the maximum range ? -- Toward 45 degrees above the horizontal.
Why horizontal motion is constant?
Horizontal motion is only constant when it is not being affected by any forces, e.g. the horizontal motion of a projectile after it's shot.
What is the component of projectile motion is not influenced by gravity?
The horizontal component.
Does the horizontal motion affect the vertical motion of a projectile?
Not if you can ignore air resistance, it doesn't.
What type of motion describes the horizontal component of a projectile?
The type of motion that describes the horizontal component of a projectile is horizontal projectile motion. It is influenced by the downward force of gravity.
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.

What is the component of projectile motion is not influenced by gravity?
The horizontal component.
Does the horizontal motion affect the vertical motion of a projectile?
Not if you can ignore air resistance, it doesn't.
Why is archery a projectile motion?
If any object is given a horizontal push, then it moves under the gravitational pull [vertical]. This combined motions leads to projectile motion. Same way archery too is projectile motion
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.
How does the unbalanced force of gravity affect the horizontal and vertical velocities of an objects in projectile motion?
well...projectile motion is made of two different motions, or movements- horizontal movement and vertical movement so... i guess that it
