What do vertical component of the projectile motion of an object depend on?

The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on a few different things. The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on weight for example.
The height of a projectile in motion will depend on:
1. the gravitational forces acting on it
2. initial height
3. Initial upward (or downward) velocity
4. upward or downward drag forces exerted by the medium it is traveling through (usually air - although it could be a liquid).
5. any upward or downward forces exerted by the independent motion of the medium it is traveling through - updrafts or downdrafts of wind for example.

Rifling of the barrel also affects if the bullet spins or not but you would be hard pressed to find a Firearm that is not rifled other than a shotgun and pre-WW1 weapons.

What part of projectile motion is affected by gravity?
The vertical component is.
Which part of projectile motion is affected by gravity?
The vertical component of it is.
How does gravity affect the 2 components of projectile motion?
-- Gravity causes the vertical component of projectile motion to vary according to the local acceleration of gravity. -- Gravity has no effect at all on the horizontal component of projectile motion.
How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare to the motion of vertical free fall?
They're equal.
Is it an example of uniformly accelerated motion the motion of a projectile fired at an angle?
The vertical component of the projectile's motion is uniformly accelerated, no matter what the angle of launch was.
What part of projectile motion is affected by gravity?
The vertical component is.

Is it an example of uniformly accelerated motion the motion of a projectile fired at an angle?
The vertical component of the projectile's motion is uniformly accelerated, no matter what the angle of launch was.
Projectile motion involves both a horizontal and a vertical component?
An arc or parabolic curve.
Which of these components of projectile motion is not influenced by gravity?
Horizontal and vertical components which need to be treated independently from each other when working out either the horizontal or vertical motion.
How does gravity affect two componets of projectile motion?
Divide the motion into a horizontal and a vertical component. The horizontal component won't be affected by gravity. The vertical component will get a downward acceleration of 9.8 meters per second per second.
How does the gravity affect the two components of projectile motion?
Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.
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
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.
Which velocity component changes along the path?
The motion of a projectile is a combination of two motions, a constant speed motion in the horizontal direction, and an accelerated motion in the vertical direction. The velocity component that changes along the path is Vy.
