How does the horizontal velocity of a projectile change throughout its motion?

please answer in the form of a hypothesis using If, then, and because

Respuesta :

The force of gravity pulls vertically down on the object. It does not pull left or right, so there are no horizontal forces due to gravity. This means the horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the object's projectile parabolic path.

Note: this is assuming wind resistance is ignored. If you account for wind resistance, then the object will slow down because the air particles push against the object and impede its progress.
