Two bullets are fired simultaneously, horizontally and with different speeds from the same place. Which bullet will hit the ground first?
Options
(a) The faster one
(b) Depends on their mass
(c) The slower one
(d) Both will reach simultaneously
Correct Answer:
Both will reach simultaneously
Explanation:
Both will hit the ground simultaneously because the downward acceleration and initial velocities in the downward direction of the two bullets are same, they will take the same time to hit the ground and for half of a projectile

Both will reach simultaneously because they have same downward acceleration i.e. the gravitation and they have same initial velocities along downward direction. Though they have different speed along the horizon but along the vertical direction both have velocities equal to zero like that of the half projectile.
