It is the same (neglecting air resistance).

If you drop an object it will accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared if you instead throw it downwards its acceleration will be greater or less 9.8 meters per second?
Whether the object is dropped, thrown downwards, thrown upwards, or thrown horizontally, its downward acceleration is the same 9.8 meters per second2. If it's thrown downwards, however, its speed at any instant is greater than the speed at the same instant would be if it had only been dropped, since it has some speed before the acceleration begins.
True or false an object that is dropped will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally from the same height?
False, provided the drop occurs no sooner than the throw, and the ground is flat .
Does a smaller object with the same force will accelerate the same than a larger object?
The smaller object will have a larger acceleration than the larger object. This is because, from Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is given by: a = F/m where a is acceleration F is resultant force and m is mass F is constant, so acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. Hence, the smaller object will have a larger acceleration.
What is a moving object that has a velocity vector and acceleration vector in the same direction?
The net force is in the same direction as the acceleration of an object.
What is the relationship between an object's acceleration and the direction of the force on the object?
If an object is increasing in speed, the acceleration is positive and the force is in the direction of travel. If the object is slowing down, the acceleration is negative and the force is acting against the direction of movement.

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
How are acceleration and force the same?
Force and acceleration are NOT the same. If you apply a net force to an object, it causes the object to accelerate. The amount of acceleration depends on the force and the mass of the object. Force = mass x acceleration.
If you throw an object towards the ground would it acceleration be greater or less thatn an object free falling?
Both objects would eventually reach terminal velocity which means they would both fall at the same speed.- But - compared to the falling object, the downward acceleration of a thrown object is the same.
True or false an object that is dropped will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally from the same height?
False, provided the drop occurs no sooner than the throw, and the ground is flat .
When the acceleration of an object is zero what is the velocity at the same time?
As long as acceleration is zero, the object's velocity is constant.
Does a smaller object with the same force will accelerate the same than a larger object?
The smaller object will have a larger acceleration than the larger object. This is because, from Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is given by: a = F/m where a is acceleration F is resultant force and m is mass F is constant, so acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.

If an object is increasing in speed, the acceleration is positive and the force is in the direction of travel. If the object is slowing down, the acceleration is negative and the force is acting against the direction of movement.
How does acceleration affect motion in the same direction?
It will increase the velocity of the the object in which the acceleration is applied.
If you increase the mass on an object what does its acceleration do?
It will need more force to achieve the same acceleration
What moving object speed up in what direct is the acceleration?
The acceleration is the same direction of the velocity
