Is it true that the vertical motion of a projectile is uniformly accelerated motion?

Yes.


Is it an example of uniformly accelerated motion the motion of a projectile fired at an angle?

The vertical component of the projectile's motion is uniformly accelerated, no matter what the angle of launch was.


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.


Which velocity component changes along the path?

The motion of a projectile is a combination of two motions, a constant speed motion in the horizontal direction, and an accelerated motion in the vertical direction. The velocity component that changes along the path is Vy.


What type of motion is the vertical motion of a projectile?

it is a parabolic path in 2-d


Is projectile motion is an example of uniformly accelerated motion in two dimensions?

No, it is uniformly decelerated for the first half and uniformly accelerated motion in the next half in two dimensions.


What part of projectile motion is affected by gravity?

The vertical component is.


Which part of projectile motion is affected by gravity?

The vertical component of it is.


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.


Does the horizontal motion affect the vertical motion of a projectile?

Not if you can ignore air resistance, it doesn't.


A projectile receives it's vertical motion from what?

gravity or a 'launching' force


How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare to the motion of vertical free fall?

They're equal.
