Projectile motion-why isn't there any accelertion in the x direction while there is an acceleration of -g in the y direction?

There is no acceleration of g in the x direction because the gravitational acceleration points downward. Also, on most studies we ignore the tidal forces since we are dealing with small bodies compared to the size of the earth.
