What is the horizontal acceleration of a ball that is launched horizontally with a velocity of 5 point 6 m/s ?

After the ball leaves the launcher, gravity acts vertically downward, not horizontally. Assuming air resistance is negligible, the ball’s horizontal velocity stays at 5.6 m/s, so its horizontal acceleration is 0 m/s². The correct choice is “0 m/s squared.”
