Two identical balls are dropped from the same height at the same time. One is simply dropped. The other is given a horizontal push at the exact moment it is released. Neglect air resistance.
Which one hits the ground first?
They hit the ground at the same time.
People often think the ball that is pushed horizontally will take longer because it “travels further” or has “more motion to do.”
But horizontal and vertical motions are independent. Both balls have the same vertical acceleration (gravity) and the same initial vertical velocity (zero), so their fall time is identical.
