Which bullet strikes the ground first the one that is fires from a rifle or the one that from the rest?

A bullet fired parallel to the gound, over flat ground, and a bullet dropped at the same time from same height will hit the ground at a time so close to each other as to be the same.

A gun fires a bullet off of a cliff that is 200 meters high with a muzzle velocity of 643 m per s so how far will the bullet travel before hitting the ground without air resistance?
Assuming that the gun is fired parallel to the ground, the bullet will begin to fall the instant that it leaves the muzzle. The total fall will be 200 meters. You will need to calculate how long it will take an object to fall 200 meters (hint- about 9.753 meters per second per second- or 9.753 meters the first second, 19.50 meters during the second second, etc) THEN multiply the velocity of the bullet (643 meters/ second) by the number of seconds it is in flight. That will be the distance when it hits the ground.
2 balls dropped horizontally and vertically.Which ball strikes ground first why?
Please describe how you drop something 'horizontally'
Where did the bullet come from in batman arkham city two face court house?
U first look at the ground and then go left and go to the nearest window u will a bullet hole there!
What will hit the ground first the bullet shot horizontally or the one dropped?
In theory, if a bullet dropped vertically at the same instant that a bullet is fired horizontally from a gun at the same height, they should both hit the ground at the same time.This example is used to emphasize that that horizontal motion and vertical motion may be analysed separately since they occur independently of each other.This is one of those things that works better in theory than in practice.There is a caveat that is important if you consider doing this in the real world. The process is not happening in a vacuum. The aerodynamics of the bullet fired at high speed is tremendously important. In early gun design, this was not understood and bullets fired from guns were very inaccurate and went up or down or right or left in unpredictable ways. Modern guns stabilize the trajectory by putting a spin on the bullet. The result makes the bullet act like a gyroscope and then to remain pointed forward when it encounters small anomalies in the air and wind. So, the moving bullet is subjected to vertical forces and can not be expected to drop at the same rate as a bullet with no horizontal motion.The principle of independent horizontal and vertical motion works better when illustrated by throwing and dropping heavy rocks. The principle is entirely correct, but there are more vertical forces involved than gravity with the bullets.
What gun has 13mm rounds?
The M1918 Mauser T-Gewehr fired a 13.2x92mm cartridge. It was the world's first anti-tank rifle. In comparison, a .50 BMG cartridge is 12.7x99mm.A large gun. That fires a bullet about a half inch in diameter.

How far does a bullet travel horizontally before gravity has an effect and takes over Is Newtons law correct that the bullet will hit the ground at the same time if it were simply dropped?
Gravity has an effect the instant the bullet leaves the barrel. The bullet starts to fall towards the earth at the same rate as the dropped bullet. However, (assuming the ground follows the curve of the earth, or you are shooting over water) the dropped bullet will hit the ground/water first. The reason is that the as the fired bullet falls the ground is receding away from it (the curve of the earth). The extreme example of this is: the bullet is fired fast enough that as it falls, the curve of the earth is 'falling' continuously away below it; we would say this bullet is now in orbit around the planet. However, if the ground you are shooting over is 'flat' (i.e. flat like a ruler, NOT following the curve of the earth) then: yes, the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time.
What layer does sunlight strikes first?
The Earth's layer that sunlight strikes first is the ozone layer.
If the a line drive strikes the pitchers rubber and the catcher catches it is he out?
No he is not out. Hitting the rubber is like hitting the ground. He would have to throw out the batter, runner at first base.
If a large cal and small cal rifle are fired in a vacuum which bullet would land first?
ALL items- large or small- fall at the same speed when affected by gravity. A large bullet and a small bullet, both fired parallel to the ground, will hit at the same time if fired at the same time from the same distance above ground. The FASTER will hit further away, but at the same time.
