MCQ

A gun is fired at a target. At the moment of firing, the target is released and allowed to fall freely under gravity. Then the bullet:$($Assume zero air resistance$)$

A
Misses the target by passing above it
✓
Hits the target
C
Misses the target by passing below it
D
May or may not hit

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

Hits the target

Initial vertical component of the velocities $($in downward direction$)$ of both the bullet and the target are zero.
So, the bullet and the target fall down by equal amount and thus the bullet hits the target.
