Horizontal . . . acceleration is zero, speed is constant Vertical . . . acceleration is 'G' downward, speed constantly increases downward
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.
Assuming no affects from air and a smooth geography, both bullets would fall at the same rate of 9.81 m/s^2 toward earth, and hit the ground simultaneously. You have to look at the bullet's velocity as having a horizontal and vertical velocity vectors. The vertical velocity vector is independent from that of the horizontal. The horizontal vector would be the speed at which the bullet is fired, and the vertical vector is the speed at which the bullet falls due to gravity.
Your vertical speed is zero when you're at the highest point of your jump. After that, itbegins to grow again, but in the downward direction. Your vertical speed is the samewhen you hit the ground as it was when you left the ground, but in the opposite direction.Your horizontal speed doesn't change. It's the same when you hit the ground as it waswhen you left the ground, and in the same direction.
-- 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.
No. If the horizontal axis is time, and the vertical axis is speed, and you're standing still,Then the graph is perfectly horizontal, and it coincides with the horizontal axis.
Horizontal . . . acceleration is zero, speed is constant Vertical . . . acceleration is 'G' downward, speed constantly increases downward
A constant speed.
constant speed
Acceleration
The given speed is constant for the given period
The line would indicate motion at a constant speed.
Constant speed ... zero acceleration.
If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.
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.
Speed
They are the axes. Usually horizontal = x-axis, vertical = y-axis. But that need not always apply. In a displacement-time or speed-time graph, for example, the horizontal axis = t-axis (for time).
