The horizontal component remains constant throughout the motion, while the vertical component is affected by gravity. The horizontal velocity is constant, and the object moves at a constant speed in the horizontal direction. On the other hand, the vertical velocity changes due to the acceleration caused by gravity. The vertical motion follows a curved path, reaching its highest point when the vertical velocity becomes zero. The horizontal and vertical components of motion are independent of each other, but they combine to produce the curved trajectory of a projectile.
