Seems to me that there could be trouble here taking the limit as the x velocity becomes large such that the direction of motion in the y direction is neglected. The ratio of Y/X becomes so small as X becomes large that arctan Y//X could assumed to be 0 in some applications but here in this case...

Is moving in x direction with acceleration, y direction no acceleration

Hmm yes it seems to me that as the x velocity becomes large that one must imagine this as zooming out on the diagram in such case the y velocity vector would be become invisible but still must exist.

TL;DR Summary: Will motion in y direction eventually stop If an object moves with initial velocity in both x and y direction and acceleration in only the x direction. If the angle of movement with the x axis will eventually become zero does that mean the object will eventually not move in the...
