A ball is thrown horizontally from a window on the second floor of a building What is the vertical component of its initial velocity?
If a ball is thrown horizontally from a window on the second floor of a building, the vertical component of its initial velocity is zero.
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 its velocity at the highest point of a ball vertically upwards?
In that case, the velocity is zero.
Result of the combination of an objects forward inertia and the downward pull of gravity on the object?
If there is no forces acting, it will continue horizontally at constant velocity, while uniformly accelerating vertically down , the effect of this would trace a parabolic curve
What is the difference between the utricle and saccule in the ear?
They both provide information about changes in velocity when travelling either horizontally or vertically. However, the utricle is more sensitive to horizontal acceleration , whereas the saccule is more sensitive to vertical acceleration.
How a displacement of a vertically thrown ball varies with time?
It is converted to the ball's velocity or it is known as its velocity because displacement changes with time is known as velocity.
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 do you you need to know to determine how far a projectile travels horizontally?
initial velocity, angle of launch, height above ground When a projectile is launched you can calculate how far it travels horizontally if you know the height above ground it was launched from, initial velocity and the angle it was launched at. 1) Determine how long it will be in the air based on how far it has to fall (this is why you need the height above ground). 2) Use your initial velocity to determine the horizontal component of velocity 3) distance travelled horizontally = time in air (part 1) x horizontal velocity (part 2)

How velocity of a vertically thrown ball varies with time?
The ball is affected by the force of the earth's gravity.
