Why do you think a freely falling body and one thrown horizontally as a projectile strike the floor at the same time?

Though they are thrown in different ways, in both the cases the vertical component of the velocity at the starting is zero. Acceleration due to gravity is acting downward in the same direction in both the cases. So they reach the floor at the same time.

Why in free falling elevator your head does not strike with the roof?
In a free-falling elevator, both you AND the elevator are falling at the same rate of acceleration with respect to the gravitational pull of the Earth. Therefore, since both you and the elevator both accelerate at the same rate, making your velocities increase at the same rate, and you both start off with the same initial velocity, you both travel at roughly the same velocity relative to each other during the entire descent, meaning that your head should not hit the roof of the elevator at any point.

What is the difference between struck and hit?
Difference between hit and strike: 'Strike' and 'hit' both momentum, different masses different velocities, overall same deal except a car hits you and a snake strikes you. Hit: Strike with a blow or a missile of a moving body example is the plane hit the ground or hit the window with the ball. Strike: an attack especially from the air. You can 'hit' the ball with the bat, or if you swing and miss, it is a 'strike'. 'Strike' is longer You 'hit' or miss, but you only 'strike' and never unstrike. 'Hit' is when a movie makes it big and 'strike' is when the union employees would not work. Hope it helps :) 'Hit' is nothing but it is a word. For example if you want to hit a ball means you should use more energy but when we come to strike in the game caroms, we should strike the carom coins, meaning less energy is applicable for this purpose It all depends on the context or how one uses the word in a sentence. English language is quite confusing and most words have multiple meanings. You can hit or strike a person And you can take a hit off a cigarette but not strike. You can strike a match but not hit it. You can hit a ball, but if you miss it you have taken a strike.
