Will a bullet travel the same distance straight up that it would horizontally?
No. The horizontal distance depends on how close the the ground the gun is. From the firing position, a bullet dropped to the ground will strike the ground in the same time as a bullet shot horizontally forward.
What is the speed of an object weighing 80 pounds dropped from 7 feet?
it strikes the ground at a velocity of 17.9 ft/s
A ball is thrown horizontally from a cliff at a speed of 15 ms and strikes the ground 45 meters from the base of the cliff How long was the ball in the air?
Answer: 3 seconds
True or false an object that is dropped will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally from the same height?
False, provided the drop occurs no sooner than the throw, and the ground is flat .
Will the object that is dropped hit the ground before an object that is that it is thrown horizontally from the same height?
No. They both hit the ground at the same time, because the VERTICAL component of velocity in both cases is the same.
Is an object that is dropped will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally from the same height?
No. They both hit the ground at the same time. This is because the VERTICAL component of velocity in both cases is the same.
A bullet is fired horizontally out of a gun at the same time another is dropped from the end of the barrelthe one to hit the ground first is?

A rock is dropped at the same instant that a ball in the same elevation is thrown horizontally which will have the greater speed when it reaches ground level?
They will both have the same speed because the will hit the ground at the same time, due to vertical velocity.
Does horizontal speed affect gravity?
No. That's why a bullet shot horizontally from a gun and a bullet dropped from the muzzle of the gun at the same time both hit the ground at the same time.
