Horizontal force in one component of the magnetic force on earth. Horizontal is a direction, and force is any external efforts that causes an object to change.

Why does a force of gravity has no effect on horizontal component of velocity?

The force of gravity points towards the center of the earth ... the direction we call "down". The force has no horizontal component, so it can't have any effect on horizontal speed.


A horizontal force of 100 N pushes a box across a floor at a constant speed. what is the force of friction acting on the box?

If the horizontal velocity is constant, then the horizontal acceleration is zero,and the net horizontal force is zero.But if you are saying that the body was in constant motion and after that the force was applied, then the body will acccelerate because of the force. The net force applied on the body would be equal to the force applied to it when the body was in constant motion as here the force is in direction of the motion and hence the angle will be 0 giving the value of cos 0º as 1. Hence there would be no reduction in the net force


Why throwing a ball always put down in curve not in straight?

-- The only horizontal force on a thrown ball is the force of air resistance, so the horizontal acceleration is very small, and the horizontal speed stays almost constant. -- The vertical force on a thrown ball is the force of gravity, so the ball accelerates straight down at the acceleration of gravity. -- The result of unequal horizontal and vertical components of acceleration is a curved path.


Aforce of 50N acts along the horizontal what is its vertical compenents?

If the force is aligned with the horizontal, then its vertical component is zero.


How does the unbalaced force of gravity affect the horizontal and vertical velocities of an object in projectile motion?

Unbalanced force of gravity will not have any effect on horizontal component but makes a variation in the vertical component

Can a force acting perpendicularly on a body cancel which is acting horizontally on the same?

That is difficult to answer in that a horizontal force may be perpendicular to the body. So, the question does not differentiate between "can a vertical force cancel a horizontal force?" and "can a horizontal force cancel a horizontal force?" The best answer is, yes: two opposite and equal horizontal forces, both perpendicular to a body, will cancel each other.

What is horizontal acceleration?

It is acceleration in the horizontal direction. This would happen as a result of a net horizontal force acting on a body.


What is the net force if the horizontal force is 150n?

Does the buoyant force act in all directions?

Yes, but any bit of force in any horizontal direction is always exactly cancelled by an equal-size bit of force in the opposite horizontal direction, so there's never a NET horizontal buoyant force. It's only apparent in the upward vertical direction.

How does science involved in driving?

Yes in physic, such as the frictional force and the horizontal force of the normal force as the centripetal force while turning at a cornering


When a ramp is at a angle of 10.5 degrees what will be the applied force?

The applied force will depend on the required force, and the angle to the ramp (or the horizontal) at which the force is applied.
