Fill in the Blanks Horizontally Launched ObjectsOnline version Fill in the blanks with what you know about a horizontally launched object. by Devon Heath 1 larger x increasing same negative dropped height x range unchanging velocity time zero no 1 . When an object is launched horizontally , it initially only has an velocity . 2 . The initial y velocity is . 3 . The x velocity is because there is acceleration on the x - axis . 4 . Meanwhile , on the y - axis , the velocity is because of gravity . 5 . Because gravity is the only external force acting on a horizontally launched object , it will hit the ground in the amount of time as a object . 6 . While the of the launch can influence the time the horizontally launched object spends in the air , the will not . 7 . Instead , changes in the x velocity will only produce a change in the of the object . 8 . The y distance will always be because a horizontally launched object will always land below where it was launched from . 9 . The y velocity , which starts at zero , will become over time as the acceleration from gravity drags it downward . 10 . The only variable that can be utilized in both the horizontal and vertical kinematics equations is .
