Only the frictional force reduces my horizontal speed.
Kon-Tiki had lost all her horizontal speed and was going straight down at almost a thousand miles an hour.
They can be lowered to the horizontal for less wind resistance and greater speed.
Now he needed as much horizontal speed as possible, and he did the only logical thing, just as Henry had anticipated.
His first successful powered wingsuit jump was in 2007, when he reached horizontal speeds of over 160 mph.
The wind of a horizontal speed whistled ever more shrilly in the stays.
In both cases the horizontal speed of the projectile with respect to the plane is 1000 fps.
The ratio of the horizontal speed versus the vertical speed gives the same answer.
During a helicopter landing, a flare is used to reduce both vertical and horizontal speed to allow a near zero-speed touchdown.
The ball and the light, although traveling at much different horizontal speeds, will reach bottom at the same time.
