A ball is fired horizontally from a table. Compared to a ball simply dropped from , the time to land is
The same.
Shorter for the projectile.
Longer for the projectile.
Depends on horizontal speed.
Explanation
Vertical motion is independent of horizontal motion; both have the same initial and same , so equal fall time.
