e. A rifle, at height H above the ground, fires a bullet parallel to the ground (bulletA). At the same instant in time and at the same height, a second bullet (bullet B)is dropped from rest. Ignore air resistance.I.Which bullet will strike the ground first?II. Which bullet will strike the ground with greater velocity?

Since the bullet A only has vertical velocity and the bullet B starts from rest. So both of them…

Answered: e. A rifle, at height H above the…
