Is acceleration greater when the object is thrown vertically or horizontally?

Acceleration is dependent on the initial velocity of how fast the object is leaving the projectile. The vertical acceleration is greater when the object is falling than when the object reaches the peak in height. However, if the object is thrown horizontally and there is no parabola in its shape then there is not as great of an acceleration.


Can an object have a speed of zero and the acceleration not be zero?

Yes, but only at one instant. For instance, if you throw an object straight up, when it reaches the highest point its instantaneous speed is zero, but of course its speed is changing - thus, acceleration is non-zero.


When an object reaches its termainal speed its acceleration is zero right?

Acceleration is zero when the object's speed and direction stop changing.
