On the earth, a stone is thrown from a height in a direction parallel to the earth’s surface while another stone is simultaneously dropped from the same height. Which stone would reach the ground first and why?

Answers (1)

The motion in the vertical direction, will not be affected by horizontal motion.

If a stone is dropped or thrown horizontally, its initial vertical speed is zero in both cases.

Both of them will experience same acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, they will take some time to reach the ground if they are thrown from the same height.
