Want this question answered?
The horizontal component of velocity for a projectile is not affected by the vertical component at all. Horizontal component is measured as xcos(theta) Vertical component is measured as xsin(theta) Whereas theta is the angle, and x is the magnitude, or initial speed.
The horizontal component.
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.
the horizontal component remain unchanged because there in no acceleration in horizontal direction
A projectile that is thrown with an initial velocity,that has a horizontal component of 4 m/s, its horizontal speed after 3s will still be 4m/s.

When the direction of the vector is vertical. Gravitational force has zero horizontal component.

Horizontal and vertical components which need to be treated independently from each other when working out either the horizontal or vertical motion.
horizontal component
A vector with magnitude = 70 , directed 20° above or below horizontal,has a horizontal component of70 cos(20°) = 65.778 (rounded)
A projectile that is thrown with an initial velocity,that has a horizontal component of 4 m/s, its horizontal speed after 3s will still be 4m/s.
Main use is centrifuges, separating things into their component parts.
If the initial velocity is v, at an angle x to the horizontal, then the vertical component is v*sin(x) and the horizontal component is v*cos(x).
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.
