Question

Two bullets are fired horizontally, simultaneously and with different velocities from same place. Which bullet will hit the ground earlier?

• A. It would depend upon the weight of the bullets
• B. The slower one
• C. The faster one
• D. Both will reach simulataneously

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both will reach simulataneously

D is correct answer since time of flight is:
$t=\sqrt{2gh}$ where $g$ is acceleration due to gravity and $h$ is height, which is independent of initial horizontal velocity.
