Why there is no horizontal acceleration during projectile motion?
Since there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction, the velocity in the horizontal direction is constant, being equal to v0 cos θ. The vertical motion of the projectile is the motion of a particle during its free fall. Here the acceleration is constant, being equal to g.
because there is no horizontal force by nature
The vertical motion of the projectile is subjected to uniform accleration in the downward direction and this acceleration is equal to ''g'' (acceleration due to gravity).Air resistance and other forces are negligible.There is no horizontal acceleration on the projectile i.e.,horizontal motion is with uniform velocity.

motion of the body along vertical axis in down ward direction. so the body has only vertical acceleration but not horizontal.
Because the only force acting on the projectile is the force of gravity, which is vertical.
