How do you calculate the vertical drop of an object travelling horizontally at 101 mph?

It depends because horizontal velocity does not affect vertical velocity at all! Example: If you took a bullet and shot it out of a gun at a perfectly horizontal angle (0 or 180 degrees) and dropped another bullet from the same height of the gun barrel, both bullets would hit the ground at the same time.

How much work is done when a vertical force acts on an object horizontally?
It depends on the magnitude of the force and the mass of the object
Will the object that is dropped hit the ground before an object that is that it is thrown horizontally from the same height?
No. They both hit the ground at the same time, because the VERTICAL component of velocity in both cases is the same.
Is an object that is dropped will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally from the same height?
No. They both hit the ground at the same time. This is because the VERTICAL component of velocity in both cases is the same.
Does an object with more weight repuire more force to accelerate than an object with lighter weight?
It certainly does. That's why you have to push it harder to accelerate it horizontally. But that "more weight" that it has is exactly the more force it needs for vertical acceleration, and that's why all objects fall with the same acceleration.
What is the definition of vertical velocity?
Vertical means up and down; so the vertical velocity is an indication of how quickly an object is rising or falling. If the object is moving at an angle (such as an airplane taking off or landing) then it would be more accurate to call it the vertical component of the object's velocity.

How much work is done by the surface molecules pushing upward on the object when it moved horizontally?
If there is no vertical motion, then no work is done by any vertical forces.
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.

What is the furthest distance an object has been thrown by a human vertically and horizontally?
Horizontally
How much work is done when a vertical force acts on an object moving horizontally?
as work done is dot product of force and displacement so cos(90)=0;therfore work done is zero

Why does a bullet shot horizontally hit the ground at the same time as one just dropped?
Because the horizontal and vertical motion of an object are separate. This means that a thrown object will accelerate with the same amount of acceleration as a dropped object (about 9.8 m/s2 acceleration due to gravity) causing them to hit the ground at the same time
Is the force of gravity on an object at rest in free fall and the same object horizontally?
Yes. The force of gravity is the same, 9.8m/s2, whether an object is at rest, in vertical motion, or horizontal motion, because the force of gravity is due to the mass of the earth and not to the motion of any object. The force of gravity does decrease slightly with altitude, as distance from the center of the earth increases.
