Object A is dropped from the top of a cliff. Object B is thrown horizontally from the same cliff at the same time that Object A is released. Compared to Object A, when will Object B hit the ground? Justify your answer.
They will hit the ground at the same time. Vertically, their motions are the exact same- they're traveling the same vertical distance, gravity is the acceleration for both, they both have vertical initial velocities of 0 m/s, so they will take the same amount of time to fall.
