Yes, in the absence of air resistance, which is the way the situation is always
viewed by everyone except Navy gunners.

What dose it mean to say a projectiles horizontal and vertical velocity are independent or each other?
For practical purposes, it means that you can calculate them independent of one another.
Does horizontal velocity effect the rate of vertical velocity?
No, horizontal velocity and vertical velocity are independent and have no effect on each other.
How is the horizontal component of velocity for a projectile affected by the vertical component?
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.
A projectile is thrown with an initial velocity which has a horizontal component of 4 m s What will be its horizontal speed after 3s?
A projectile that is thrown with an initial velocity,that has a horizontal component of 4 m/s, its horizontal speed after 3s will still be 4m/s.
Which of the velocity component of projectile changes and other remain constant why?
the horizontal component remain unchanged because there in no acceleration in horizontal direction

How do you find vertical and horizontal components when given the initial velocity?
If the initial velocity is v, at an angle x to the horizontal, then the vertical component is v*sin(x) and the horizontal component is v*cos(x).

Where A Particle Is Projected Along A Linear Plane. The Horizontal Component Of The Velocity Is Twice The Vertical Component What Is The Initial Magnitude Of The Velocity And The Angle At Which It Is?
The initial velocity is sqrt(5) times the vertical component, and its angle relative to the horizontal direction, is 0.46 radians (26.6 degrees).
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.
Why if the object moves as a projectile the X component of the velocity is constant and the Y component change at the same rate?
The 'x' component of the velocity is usually the label given to the horizontalcomponent. Also, remember, we generally ignore air-resistance in this typeof exercise. When we do that, there is no horizontal force on the object, sothe horizontal component of velocity can't change.The only force on the object is gravity, and that's completely vertical, so onlythe vertical component of velocity can change.
What is a vertical projectile?
One that goes directly up - the velocity having no horizontal component.
Why does a force of gravity has no effect on horizontal component of velocity?
The force of gravity points towards the center of the earth ... the direction we call "down". The force has no horizontal component, so it can't have any effect on horizontal speed.
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.
