Howdy, iam Willie Patterson, Have an A+ day.
Why Is The Horizontal Acceleration Of A Projectile Zero? [Solved]
Ignoring air resistance the only force acting is weight=mg, vertically down. So the acceleration=g=9.81ms-2 vertically down. There is no horizontal force, the weight has no horizontal component so the horizontal acceleration =0, horizontal constant velocity.
Horizontal velocity remains constant

Things don’t always move in one dimension, they can also move in two dimensions. And three as well, but slow down buster!
