What is horizontal force?

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.


What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?

Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).

Gravity


What is the name of the type of force that causes circular motion?

centripetal force


What type of motion is in spinning top?

well the motion is round and round but the force that stops it falling over is centrifugal force :)


What type of motion is a net force acting on an object?

Accelerated motion (F=ma)


Which is a more accurate statement that forces cause motion or that forces cause changes in motion?

This question is very unclear. Under the right circumstances any force will cause a change in motion. Whenever the net force, in a given direction, on a body is greater than zero, that body will move.


What type of motion describes the horizontal component of a projectile?

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.
