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 ____________________ .
