MCQ
Two bullets are fired simultaneously, horizontally and with different speeds from the same place. Which bullet will hit the ground first?
- AThe faster one.
- BThe slower one.
- ✓Both will reach simultaneously.
- DDepends on the masses.
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Both will reach simultaneously.
Explanation:
Because the downward acceleration and the initial velocity in downward direction of the two bullets are the same, they will take the same time to hit the ground and for a half projectile.
Time of flight $=\text{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2\text{h}}{\text{g}}}$
