Why does the horizontal component of velocity for a projectile remain constant and why does only the vertical component change?

Why does the horizontal component of velocity for a projectile remain constant and why does only the vertical component change? There is only one force acting on the object in the air, that is due to gravity, acting downwards. Since no force is acting in a horizontal direction therefore the magnitude of velocity and angle […]

What is the charge moving between parallel plates?

What is the charge moving between parallel plates? A two charged and parallel plates will create a uniform electric field when both carry equally distributed opposite charges. Still, if the plates have the same charge (positive or negative), the electric field equals zero. The lines are vectors perpendicular to both plates for a uniform electric
