Horizontal and Vertical Motion

A bullet is fired from a gun held parallel to the ground. At the exact same moment, a second bullet is dropped from the same height as the gun. Which bullet hits the ground first?The answer to this classic conundrum is not at all intuitive. It depends on a fundamental fact of physics: vertical and horizontal motion are completely independent of one another. While we won’t be firing any guns in this investigation, we will use some everyday objects to demonstrate a basic law of motion that applies to everything from a home run baseball to a rocket launch.How do the vertical and horizontal motions of a projectile affect one another?
