Projectiles Launched Horizontally don't change acceleration as the projectile move when there in no air friction. If you change the angle launched, however, the horizontal distance will change. Horizontal component is independent from the vertical component of velocity.
Projectiles Launched Horizontally is also applied to a dancer. When the dancer leaves the floor, the horizontal component of velocity stays the same the whole time. She would hit the floor at the same time as someone who just went straight down.

Questions
1.) Does changing the angle launched affect the horizontal distance?
It is like a parabola, so at around 45 degrees it will go the farthest.
2.) Without air friction, does the horizontal or vertical component of velocity stay the same as the projectile move?
The horizontal component
