Because the acceleration due to gravity is consistent with any mass. 9.807 m/s^2 or 32.174 ft/s^2 is the value. These values apply to any object with any mass.

How does the gravity affect the two components of projectile motion?

Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.


What effect does mass have on projectile motion?

None


How does initial velocity affect the projectile in motion?

It affects the entire speed of the projectile is going to travel at. Shooting it at a higher initial velocity may increase the airtime of the projectile depending on the angle it was fired at.


How does gravity affect the 2 components of projectile motion?

-- Gravity causes the vertical component of projectile motion to vary according to the local acceleration of gravity. -- Gravity has no effect at all on the horizontal component of projectile motion.


Does the horizontal motion affect the vertical motion of a projectile?

Not if you can ignore air resistance, it doesn't.


Which two forces affect the motion of a projectile?

The main forces acting on a projectile are gravity, and air resistance.


How does force affect projectile?

A force causes acceleration according to Newton's second law and can therefore change the motion of a projectile.

How does the unbalanced force of gravity affect the horizontal and vertical velocities of an objects in projectile motion?

well...projectile motion is made of two different motions, or movements- horizontal movement and vertical movement so... i guess that it
