Question

If I kick a ball off the top of a mountain cliff, will it take longer to hit the ground than if I just drop it? Explain your answer. Your answer:

Answer 1

they will drop at the same time

Step-by-step explanation:

projectile motion consists of two components, horizontal and vertical, which are independent of one another. That means that if you drop a ball and kick another one straight out, they will both hit the ground at the same time so long as they have the same initial drop height .
