When an object is launched horizontally, the time it takes to travel in the vertical direction will be less than the time it takes to travel in the horizontal direction True False

False<br /><br />When an object is launched horizontally, the time it takes to travel in the vertical direction is the same as the time it takes to travel in the horizontal direction. This is because the vertical and horizontal motions are independent of each other. The time it takes for the object to travel in the vertical direction is determined by the initial vertical velocity and the acceleration due to gravity, while the time it takes to travel in the horizontal direction is determined by the initial horizontal velocity and the horizontal distance traveled. Therefore, the statement is false.
