In projectile motion on a horizontal surface, the time of flight is the total time the object remains airborne. It is determined solely by the vertical motion. The formula is $T = \frac{2 u \sin θ}{g}$ , where $u \sin θ$ is the vertical component of the initial velocity. Since it is independent of the horizontal component ( $u \cos θ$ ), the time of flight does not depend on the horizontal velocity.

Final Answer: Time of flight does not depend on horizontal component of velocity
