a) hit the ground first
b) hit at the same time as the dropped bullet
c) hit the ground second
d) never hit the ground
record final answer



Answer :

The fired bullet will: hit the ground second.

option C is the correct answer.

What is vertical velocity?

The vertical velocity of an object is the velocity of the object along the y axis.

The vertical velocity of an object decreases as the moves upwards, and eventually becomes zero at the maximum height due to the influence of acceleration due to gravity.

As the object begins to descend, the vertical velocity starts to in increase and eventually becomes maximum before the object hits the ground.

The horizontal velocity of an object remains constant because it is not affected by acceleration due to gravity in the horizontal direction.

Thus, the bullet fired from a gun will travel longer distance than the bullet dropped from same height due to influence of gravity.
