'Vertical velocity' means speed up or down.

∙ 11y agoVertical velocity is the rate of change of an object's position in the vertical direction per unit of time. It is the speed at which an object moves up or down relative to a reference point. Positive vertical velocity indicates upward movement, while negative vertical velocity indicates downward movement.
No, horizontal velocity does not affect the rate of vertical velocity. Each component of velocity (horizontal and vertical) is independent of the other. They act separately to determine the motion of an object.
At the highest point of the trajectory in projectile motion, the vertical component of velocity is zero because the projectile has reached its maximum height and is momentarily at rest before beginning to fall back down due to gravity. At this point, all the initial vertical velocity has been used to overcome gravity, resulting in zero vertical velocity.
The vertical component of velocity for the projectile when it is fired horizontally is zero. This is because the initial velocity is entirely in the horizontal direction, and there is no initial velocity in the vertical direction. Gravity will act on the projectile, causing its vertical velocity to increase as it travels.
When a projectile's horizontal and vertical velocities are independent, it means that the horizontal velocity does not affect the vertical velocity, and vice versa. This means that the projectile will continue to move horizontally at a constant velocity regardless of its vertical motion, and its vertical motion will be affected only by gravity.
At the top of its trajectory, a projectile's vertical velocity is momentarily zero, while its horizontal velocity remains constant. The speed of a projectile at the top of its trajectory can be determined by calculating the magnitude of its velocity vector using the horizontal and vertical components of velocity.

Vertical Velocity
Hang time depends on your vertical component of velocity when you jump. The higher the vertical velocity, the longer your feet will be off the ground. The horizontal component of velocity does not affect hang time.
No, the vertical velocity of a projectile changes continuously due to the force of gravity pulling it downward. Initially, the vertical velocity may be at its maximum, but as the projectile rises, the velocity decreases until it reaches zero at the peak of its trajectory, after which it starts to increase again as it falls back down.
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.
Yes, in projectile motion, the vertical component of motion is influenced by the initial velocity in the vertical direction. The horizontal and vertical components of motion are independent of each other, with the horizontal component being influenced by the initial velocity in the horizontal direction.
