What is Horizontal Velocity?

The horizontal velocity of a motion problem deals with motion in the x direction; that is, side to side, not up and down. Gravity, for example, acts only in the vertical direction and doesn't affect horizontal motion directly. Horizontal velocity comes from forces that act in the x-axis.
