That combination is called "projectile motion". In the absence of
air resistance, its shape is always a parabola.
False. A horizontal line on a velocity vs. time graph indicates constant velocity, not constant acceleration. Positive acceleration would be represented by a diagonal line sloping upwards on a velocity vs. time graph.
a horizontal line
The vertical velocity component changes due to the effect of gravity, which causes acceleration in the downward direction. The horizontal velocity component remains constant because there are no horizontal forces acting on the projectile (assuming air resistance is negligible).
No, there is no acceleration when an object is traveling at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change and therefore no acceleration.
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
Ahorizontal line on a velocity vs time graph does not indicate any acceleration because there is no slope. Speed remains constant.
False. A horizontal line on a velocity vs. time graph indicates constant velocity, not constant acceleration. Positive acceleration would be represented by a diagonal line sloping upwards on a velocity vs. time graph.
a horizontal line
The graph of acceleration vs time for something going at a constant positive velocity would be a horizontal line at zero on the acceleration axis. This is because there is no change in velocity, so the acceleration is constant and equal to zero.
The vertical velocity component changes due to the effect of gravity, which causes acceleration in the downward direction. The horizontal velocity component remains constant because there are no horizontal forces acting on the projectile (assuming air resistance is negligible).
If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.

No, there is no acceleration when an object is traveling at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change and therefore no acceleration.
Constant velocity implies zero acceleration, so you would have a horizontal line, identical to the x-axis.
