Solution

The acceleration in the horizontal direction for a projectile fired at an angle is 0 m/s². This is because the only acceleration acting on the projectile after it is fired is due to gravity, which acts vertically downwards. There are no forces acting horizontally on the projectile, so its horizontal acceleration is zero.
