That means the if you change one you do not necessarily change the other. In the case of the projectile the vertical component is dependent on time (if it is a projectile near a large mass like the earth) gravity acts on it accelerating the projectile in a downward direction. The horizontal component remains the same during the entire flight (if we disregard air resistance and such things).

What statement describes the dependent variable?

The dependent variable is the outcome or response that is being measured in an experiment. It is what is affected by changes in the independent variable, which is the variable being manipulated. The dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable.


Is the following statement true or false An object sliding along a horizontal table is an example of projectile motion?

False. Projectile motion involves an object being launched into the air at an angle and moving along a curved path under the influence of gravity. An object sliding along a horizontal table does not exhibit projectile motion as it is not launched into the air.


Projectile motion is caused by?

Projectile motion is caused by the combination of an object's horizontal velocity and vertical acceleration due to gravity. The object follows a curved path as it moves through the air, with its horizontal motion remaining constant and its vertical motion influenced by gravity.


Is this statement true or false Shearing results when forces within the earth are pulled in opposite horizontal directions.?

False. Shearing results when forces within the Earth are applied parallel to each other in opposite directions causing rocks to slide past each other horizontally.


Is the vertical motion of a projectile dependent on its horizontal motion?

They fall at the same rate. So if you aim at an object before it falls from a height and shoot just as it is released then the projectile will hit the falling object. This happens because gravity is always the same (at small heights) and has the same effect on the object with no horizontal displacement as it does on the projectile with horizontal displacement.

How is an object is acted on by either horizontal or vertical forces false and give an example.?

This statement is false because an object can experience forces acting at angles. For example, if a ball is thrown diagonally upwards, it will experience both horizontal and vertical components of force. These forces combine to determine the object's resulting motion.
