To know the direction of the torque acting on the coil, whether the coil is vertical or horizontal, you will compare the direction of the magnetic force or its rotation to the direction of the coil. If the coil is vertical and the magnetic force is in the direction of the coil rotation, then the direction of the torque will be the same.

For an object to be in projectile motion and what force must be acting on it?

Gravity must be the only force acting on the object, to produce downwards vertical acceleration. There is no force acting in the horizontal direction because there is no acceleration.


Why does the horizontal component of velocity for a projectile remain constant while the vertical component changes?

Since the velocity is constant due to the fact that there are no external forces acting in the horizontal direction, if you neglect air resistance, therefore, the horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant.


What is the horizontal weight of a gallon water?

"Weight" is a number that those in the know call a "scalar" ... a number that has no direction ... which means that there's no such thing as 'horizontal' weight. The weight of a gallon of water is about 8.35 pounds. That's the force of gravity trying to pull the earth and the gallon of water together. It acts in the direction toward the center of the earth, which is the direction we call 'vertical', so there's never any part of the weight acting horizontally.


Why does the vertical component of velocity for a projectile change with time where as the horizontal component of velocity doesn't?

Because gravity is acting on the vertical component, exerting a constant -9.8m/s2 worth of acceleration.


What is the lift force in an aircraft?

The lift force is the force acting against the aircraft's weight. For straight and level flight, lift acts in the upward vertical direction and the weight of the aircraft acts in the downward vertical direction. For level flight, lift = weight.

Two, one in the vertical direction and the other in the horizontal direction


How does motion in a vertical circle differ from that in a horizontal circle?

During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.

The forces acting in a vertical direction or in a straight direction is called vertical force

What is horizontal acceleration?

It is acceleration in the horizontal direction. This would happen as a result of a net horizontal force acting on a body.

Can a force acting perpendicularly on a body cancel which is acting horizontally on the same?

That is difficult to answer in that a horizontal force may be perpendicular to the body. So, the question does not differentiate between "can a vertical force cancel a horizontal force?" and "can a horizontal force cancel a horizontal force?" The best answer is, yes: two opposite and equal horizontal forces, both perpendicular to a body, will cancel each other.

Why does a projectile maintain its horizontal component of velocity?

Because there's no horizontal force acting on it that would change its horizontal component of velocity. (In practice, that's not completely true, since the frictional 'force' of air resistance acts in any direction. But outside of air resistance, there's nothing else acting horizontally on the projectile.)


In the absence of air friction does the horizontal component of a projectile's velocity change as the projectile moves is this True False?

A projectile will travel on a straight line unless external forces act upon it. Gravity will pull the projectile downward, i.e. affect its vertical velocity component. This is why the projectile will decelerate upwards, reach a maximum elevation, and accelerate back down to earth. The force vector of air resistance points in the opposite direction of motion, slowing the projectile down. For example, If the projectile is going forward and up, air resistance is pushing it backwards (horizontal component) and down (vertical component). Without air resistance, there is no external force acting upon the horizontal velocity component and the projectiles ground speed will stay constant as it gains altitude and falls back down to earth.
